Sorry, the bug report should read. "Evince seems to load normally, but can not display pdf files. Display space is blank."

On further investigation, Evince does load pdf files if the view configuration is manually set. It appears that my installation has a incomplete configuration, or Evince now requires manual configuration to work. Thanks.
