evince from snap doesn't save position in pdf document

[Reverend Homer]

I've installed evince 3.30.0 (46) via "sudo snap install evince" on Ubuntu 18.04. Every time I'm running evince and opening pdf document, it opens the document on the first page, though I closed the document on the different page.

I can't reproduce that issue with evince installed via apt, so I think this is a snap-specific issue.

Also, every time I'm opening the document, evince prints the error:
Error registering document: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.evince.Daemon was not provided by any .service files

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This still a problem in Ubuntu 20.04 and evince 40.4

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/1642

When using snap-based evince the application state is not saved.

evince 40.4 from the snap of the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories:
  - does not save window position
  - does not save left pane state (it is always closed, after open it is always on the page "Thumbnails")
  - does not save page position
  - zoom seems to be "Fit Width", it seems that this is the default zoom
  - list of recently opened documents always empty

Also snap-based evince does not have an icon in the ubuntu-dock -- standard icon with gear in rhombus is used. evince from the apt has the icon with glasses on the printed list.

When I run evice from the command line I get the following output:

```
$ LC_ALL=C evince

Error registering document: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.evince.Daemon was not provided by any .service files
```

evice was installed as
```
sudo snap install evince
```

@Mingun: in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1969896 you reported this is still affecting Ubuntu 24.04.1

Can you provide log entries with the denials you are encountering?

  sudo dmesg | grep DENIED

Also you reported

  $ LANG=C sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
  apparmor_parser: Unable to remove "/usr/bin/evince". Profile doesn't exist

can you provide what is returned by
  ls /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince

and
  sudo aa-status | grep evince

[Mingun (alexander-sergey)]

$ ls /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
