Binary package hint: apparmor-profiles
The desktop theme I am using is a soft link to a directory under
/usr/local/, thus:
/usr/share/themes/MY-THEME ---> /usr/local/share/themes/MY-THEME
When I launch evince, it is unable to read the theme information, and so
falls back on a generic (ugly) gtk theme. Adding explicit entries for
/usr/local/share/themes to the apparmor profile fixed the problem. This
and similar things will be an issue for any application that has an
apparmor profile similar to the evince profile.
I don't really see a solution to this problem. As I understand it, there
is no standard place to store "local" themes so as to make them
available systemwide. Creating symlinks in /usr/share/themes seems like
a natural choice, but the apparmor profiles won't allow it.
Steps to reproduce (though vandalizing your system):
1. sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/themes/
2. sudo mv /usr/share/themes/Human /usr/local/share/themes/
3. sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/themes/Human /usr/share/themes/
4. Go to appearances and click around before reselecting "Human" theme (may not
be necessary)
5. Launch evince.
