Comment 1 for bug 343151

thank you for reporting this issue.
do you get any other warnings/errors when running evince under xfce?
the warning you are mentioning is completely normal, evince is looking for the gnome settings daemon, but should continue loading without a problem if it doesn't find it (i.e. in other desktop environments, such as XFCE or KDE)...
what i'm saying is, if you do have an issue, it's unrelated to the attached warning...
