Public bug reported:
What I expect to happen:
Running the command
evince example
where "example" is the filename of a PDF file should open the document
"example" in Evince.
What happens instead:
Running that command opens Evince but provides an error message:
Unable to open document.
Error opening file: Permission denied
I'm not sure if this a bug in Evince, or if it is some sort of security
put in place by Ubuntu.
