Since the resolution of bug 583680 (at least) when evince is asked to open an already open file again, it refuses to do so and just switches to the window already showing the file.

And there is no way to run a second instance as requested in bug 585403 (which is curiously marked as duplicate of bug 583680).

Hence there is no way to display two locations of a single document simultaneously (unless one goes to such lengths such as physically creating two files).  It is also impossible to display the same PDF file on multiple desktops (without making the window sticky to show on all desktops).

Steps to reproduce:

1. evince document.pdf
2. evince [--whatever-options-exist] document.pdf

Expected behaviour:
Some command line option would cause it to either run a new instance or show the document again in a new window.

Actual behaviour:
Evince always switches to the window already showing document.pdf.

I understand that it wants to save the current view for each document.  But even losing all the information about the current view for a PDF shown multiple times would be fine if I just could display it (creating temporary PDF files results in lost view information anyway).
