Description Tobias Mueller 2009-06-11 02:09:34 UTC
Hi,

I'm trying to run my newly built evince, but I can't run it, because it always creates another widget from a already running evince instance. I expected to be able to run the binary w/o having it connected to the old evince process.

The help looks like this:
$ jhbuild run evince --help-all
Usage:
  evince [OPTION...] [FILE...] GNOME Document Viewer

Help Options:
  -?, --help                      Show help options
  --help-all                      Show all help options
  --help-sm-client                Show session management options
  --help-gtk                      Show GTK+ Options

Session management options:
  --sm-client-disable             Disable connection to session manager
  --sm-client-state-file=FILE     Specify file containing saved configuration
  --sm-client-id=ID               Specify session management ID

GTK+ Options
  --class=CLASS                   Program class as used by the window manager
  --name=NAME                     Program name as used by the window manager
  --screen=SCREEN                 X screen to use
  --gdk-debug=FLAGS               Gdk debugging flags to set
  --gdk-no-debug=FLAGS            Gdk debugging flags to unset
  --sync                          Make X calls synchronous
  --gtk-module=MODULES            Load additional GTK+ modules
  --g-fatal-warnings              Make all warnings fatal
  --gtk-debug=FLAGS               GTK+ debugging flags to set
  --gtk-no-debug=FLAGS            GTK+ debugging flags to unset

Application Options:
  -p, --page-label=PAGE           The page of the document to display.
  -f, --fullscreen                Run evince in fullscreen mode
  -s, --presentation              Run evince in presentation mode
  -w, --preview                   Run evince as a previewer
  -l, --find=STRING               The word or phrase to find in the document
  --display=DISPLAY               X display to use

$ 

And even if any of those options would trigger my desired behaviour, it'd need a more appropriate description.

There is no such option.
