Title:
print preview broken in non gnome environments (evince missing)

Bug description:
Inkscape 0.46 Linux assumes that evince is installed on the machine
that it is running on. This causes error messages when print preview
is attempted: "Failed to execute child process "evince" (No such file
or directory)".
This is a simple problem; perhaps evince could be listed as a
dependency, or alternatively a more helpful error message could be
displayed which would explaining the problem (many users will not know
what "evince" is or means). It could say something like 'an external
program is required to use the print preview function, please install
evince'.
Ideally inkscape would be able to use KDE components to display print
preview, as well as Gnome ones. I don't know how easy/possible this
would be to implement.
This bug has been written up elsewhere, including bug #238609.
However, it is not very well described there, and I think it is
sufficiently important and easy to remedy that it merited a new bug
submission (print preview is a very popular function on any graphics
app).
