evince incorrectly named "document viewer"

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Binary package hint: evince

evince reports in Help/About:

document viewer 2.24.0
instead of evince 2.24.0

This makes it a tad bit hard to report bugs, since one doesn't easily find out what "document viewer" is:

$ apt-cache search gnome document viewer
evince-gtk - Document (postscript, pdf) viewer (gtk version)
evince-gtk-dbg - Document (postscript, pdf) viewer (gtk version) - debugging symbols
epdfview - Lightweight pdf viewer based on poppler libs
gnome-desktop-environment - The GNOME Desktop Environment

$ dpkg -l evince
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

thanks for the report, i don't get how that makes hard to report bugs in ubuntu, the same way you went to Help/About you can go to Help/Report a problem, changing the name is something that needs to be discussed with the upstream developers rather.

could you send the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting the code will read it too?
