Description Lucas Nussbaum 2005-11-08 09:46:27 UTC 
Version details: 0.4.0 from Ubuntu
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy 5.10

evince /usr/share/doc/latex-xcolor/xcolor1.pdf.gz for example.
It complains of an Unhandled MIME type: 'application/x-gzip'

It works with .ps.gz, and the gv application can open .pdf.gz files.

This is quite annoying since some distributions (Debian, Ubuntu) gzip the .pdf
files in /usr/share/doc/
