Comment 3 for bug 572028

Seeing similiar issue here, below is the last bit of an strace showing the permission denied.

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {849, 930237457}) = 0
lstat64("/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", 0xbf90338c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
write(2, "\n** (evince:21948): WARNING **: "..., 152
** (evince:21948): WARNING **: Error creating last_settings file: Error opening file '/home/rmcgilli/.gnome2/evince/last_settings': Permission denied

If you manually create the file evince will start up (touch <full file from error message>)

Incase it's important my home dir is enrcypted so the filesystem type is fuse; here's the mount entry

    gvfs-fuse-daemon on /export2/home/rmcgilli/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=rmcgilli)
