Hi Christopher,
With my 14.04 LTS, evince no longer shows this issue, since  my system has had some extra GTK related libraries updates.   Thank you for the help,

I just went from 14.04 LTS to 14.10 and now get the same error for any PDF I open:

(evince:22053): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

from Joe Chen's last message, are there some unmet GTK library dependencies in 14.10?

I get exactly the same behaviour than comment #5 with *any* PDF.

This is *very* annoying since it pollute my terminal a lot which prevent me to look LaTeX messages correctly for instance.

I guess problem is in shell/ev-window.c (near the line 614)

I also see this bug with 15.04. It makes looking at the Latex errors, very difficult. And its really annoying to have this error
constantly spewing across the screen.
