Bug Description

Whenever I click on the new folder icon in Evince, I see an error bar, as shown in the screenshot attached. The text reads 'Could not open the containing folder' on the first line and 'Failed to execute child process "nautilus" (Permission denied)'. The containing folder is owned by my user and chmod'ed 775.
