The default apparmor 'X' abstraction permits access to /{,var/}run/lightdm/authority/[0-9]*, ostensibly for the xauthority file. Except on Trusty, that's not where the xauthority file is. It is instead in /run/lightdm/$USER, and named "xauthority". I have had to udpated my apparmor configuration, lest apparmor convince Evince of being a filthy script kiddie, out to corrupt my xauth file.

Please consider adding the following to the 'X' abstraction:

owner /{,var/}run/lightdm/*/xauthority r,
