I'm having an occasional issue with evince, and since the issue is clearly related to the PDF engine underneath which it uses (*this), I got a tip to run a PDF directly with 'poppler-glib-demo' in the 'poppler-demos' package.

This is one more for the wishlist.
poppler-glib-demo is not just a demo for developers, but will also show errors that evince may be blamed for (for no reason at all). evince simply uses lots of things under the hood, and one of them is poppler for PDF rendering.

ISTR that our Fedora colleagues do have this tool compiled in binary form and included in the package.
As I think it might be pretty useful for bug-hunting, I'd ask you kindly to no longer omit it when building the package.
Thanks for considering.
