Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Steps to reproduce:

2. Select File->Print.
3. Click on 'Print Preview' button.

Expected behavior:

The document shows the preview correctly.

Actual behavior:

A dialog appears which says: 'Unable to open document. Unhandled MIME type: "text/plain"'. You can only press the 'Close' button. And no document is shown.

I just realized that the problem is in the whitespaces of the .dvi file name. Replacing whitespaces with underscores (for example) solves the problem. Updating the bug description.
