8 As you use evince, you may be a gnome user, so this might not help you. I
9 recently had all my kde associations and (very surprisingly) a number of
10 others from other DEs go scrambled. Rebuilding kdelibs fixed all of it.

12 I never did figure out how this could occur. Possibly it's something to do
13 with DEs converging on freedesktop.org standards, so an oopsie in one can have
14 system-wide side0effects.
