Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
In gutsy, evince used to be able to launch external helper applications. In a fully updated hardy, it doesn't seem to do this, at least with the attached example.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Download test.tar.gz attachment, unpack in a directory, cd to it.
2) Load test.pdf in gutsy's evince. A movie player will launch if you
click on the image on the last page, assuming your system can
play MOV files.
3) Load test.pdf in hardy's evince. Even though the tooltip says that
evince intends to launch the movie player, it doesn't. However,
the movie can be played just fine using a properly configure totem.
