This misfeature irritates me every time I have to use Evince.  I can
understand having the thing skip pages when it's ALREADY in fullscreen
mode... but consider the current behavior:

I'm reading a PDF document while listening to music, and try to skip
tracks.... what happens? Evince goes to the next page, so I have to
manually go back, and possibly lose track of where I am reading.

Now, I try to pause the music, and Evince hijacks my whole screen.... so I have 
to press F11 to un-fullscreen it.  
And when I try to resume the music, Evince does it again.

What I think it should do: NOT take over play-pause, and only act on
track-skip hotkeys when already in fullscreen mode.  That way, you can
still use it for "presentation mode".  The ability to change pages with
a remote makes sense.  The ability to change from windowed to fullscreen
(and not back again) does not make sense -- why not just start the
presentation with the PDF fullscreen already?
