Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

At some stage between Jaunty and Lucid the behaviour of evince in representing documents has changed for the worse.

Previously evince kept the setting for 'Dual' from the last opened document, while now every new document is opened with the default state of not-'Dual'. I understand that this was probably a feature design decision and that defaulting to non-'Dual' is more sensible than 'Dual', however it is very irritating when a large screen is being used that could other wise be utilised to view both pages.

A feature request would be to have a global default preference that allows the choice to be made by the user for all new documents.
