Description Ghee Teo 2010-04-29 09:38:30 UTC 
With evince 2.30.1, we found this error when invoking evince.

$ evince

** (evince:2513): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error opening file '/home/gheet/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': No such file or directory

The problem is that for a brand new user, the directory, $HOME/.gnome2/evince has not been created and the fix to 606090 does not do the check.

Comment 1 Ghee Teo 2010-04-29 09:52:37 UTC 
The fix is simple, make sure the directory is created,
