Bug Description

When viewing the vector source PDF included in http://www.ralfw.de/download/ccddesktops.zip, the PDF has several black areas which are intended to be coloured and the background layer is white (compare the PNG files in the linked ZIP with the Evince screenshot).

The bug presumably originates in a rendering library, as GIMP PDF import and the GNOME thumbnailer produce the same rendering defects.

Ghostscript (gs -sDEVICE=x11 ccdDesktopVectorImage.pdf) renders the file correctly.

I am still using 12.04 LTS; Evince 3.4 does still render parts incorrectly. I don't know if Evince in 12.10 works.
