The development version of evince needs the new glib [1] which is
marked as "Only for testing", "Do not use in a production
environment".
Does not sound like the way to go...

The stable version of evince (the version that builds with the
SlackBuild) needs the gnome-settings-daemon, which *I* cannot use
under my XFce, but I have no idea if it works under KDE.
I guess non-gnome users will have to live with evince not saving its
settings for now.

[1] evince changed to using the schema-based GSettings, removing the
GConf stuff. These GSettings functions are not available in 'our'
glib.
