Description coCoKNIght 2010-05-03 10:32:40 UTC 
I've done a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my HP Mini

When trying to open a PDF file at first "Document Viewer" appears in the window list but then disappears and never starts.

When trying to start evince from the console I get the following:

** (evince:2698): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error opening file '/home/cocoknight/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': No such file or directory

Well I haven't been able to start evince yet, so obviously there's no /home/cocoknight/.gnome2/evince/ folder.

So I decided to try and create that folder and voilá, evince starts up all right.
