Binary package hint: evince

Under Evince, when a PDF is loaded, the title of the PDF is displayed in the Window title of the Evince window. However, it would appear that some of the PDFs that I read lack a title, or are named "untitled" or something. These are PDFs that I read as eBooks through a distance learning program.

It seems that Evince should be able to detect PDFs without a title or with the title "untitled" and be able to change to another means of identifying the window (such as the file name of the currently opened PDF). Even better, there should probably be an option that allows users to choose their Window title behavior:

 * Always display the PDF's title in the window title,
 * Attempt to display the PDF's title in the Window title with exceptions (a list, perhaps, which defaults to including "untitled"?),
 * Always display the document's file name in the window title.

This seems like it would be reasonable, anyway. I generally want to see the file name, myself, and not the document title as it was put into the document. It would help me to better keep track of everything, especially when working with many PDFs at once.
