Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
1) Ubuntu release: Gutsy
2) Version of evince: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1
3) To see a PDF displayed
4) A blank paper is shown in evince
When opening a PDF evince does not display the PDF until the window receives a
resize event.
This does not happen in metacity, since it sends the resize event to evince
after the window has been created, however evince should play nice with other
window managers and should not rely on metacity's specific details.
Recently I switched window managers (from metacity to awesome) and I
noticed this problem. Awesome is a tile-based window manager, and
therefore after an evince window is initially created with a given size
awesome does not send a resize event unless you explicitly change the
evince window's size using keyboard shortcuts.
This problem is also present when embedding evince using mozplugger (in
regular metacity, awesome, etc..). In fact you there are already bug
reports on launchpad describing this problem, however now it seems
obvious the problem is evince and not mozplugger.
