Open Containing Folder doesn't work

[Muelli]

[53189.196377] type=1400 audit(1310140494.916:27): apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" parent=24816 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/bin/nautilus" pid=24817 comm="evince" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

I right clicked a PDF shown in Evince and selected "Open containing folder" from the context menu. It didn't work. I wouldn't have expected that menu option if it doesn't work.

I have a workaround although I'm not 100% it is kosher. apply this patch to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince:

$ patch -u usr.bin.evince <<JESSE

and then
$ sudo service apparmor reload
that should work.
