Bug Description

If I launch evince and then try to open a new window by using the menu in evince nothing happens.
Also the new window entry is missing in the right click menu of the launcher.

When I try to open a new window from the Evince menu the following appears in the system log:

[ 3432.193280] audit: type=1400 audit(1537816996.565:31): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/gio-launch-desktop" pid=11689 comm="evince" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

PD: I'm running debian testing, I've reported the issue here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909531 but no ack so far. I noticed that the apparmor profile comes from ubuntu so I tought this migh be a better place to report.

There was an update of the evince package some days ago. Seems like the update don't contain the patch you sent but now opening a new window from the evince menu does work. The new window menu for evince is still missing in shell (right click on the launcher).

I applied your patch to the profiles and the situation is still the same. I don't know if this is an issue with appmor though. When evince is not open, the right click menu in the launcher shows 'New window', maybe is evince overriding that menu?
