dang: just take out NoDisplay=true in the .desktop file

> dang: just take out NoDisplay=true in the .desktop file

Makes me wonder why the GNOME team decided NOT to display itin the menu; Evince
is a viewer only, so it would only be run when an their's an existing
document... If there's an existing document, then one can browse to the document
via Nautilus and click on the file. Just a thought...

Regards,

Would that not be inconsistent with regard to Eye of GNOME, for instance, which
is "only" an image viewer.

I have a fix for this.  However, evince doesn't build since libtool was
upgraded, due to the lack of a shared version of libkpathsea from tetex.  I've
submitted a bug with a fix about tetex (bug #105418), and once that's fixed,
I'll commit the fixed evince.

Fixed in CVS.  I got tired of waiting for tetex.  If you can't build because of
kpathsea, try disabling the dvi use flag.
