Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Steps to reproduce this behavior in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) using Evince Document Viewer 2.22.2:

1) Launch Evince from Nautilus
2) Maximize Evince on secondary monitor
3) Close Evince
4) Launch Evince from Nautilus on secondary monitor
5) Evince opens maximized on secondary monitor
6) When the file is completely loaded it jumps maximized to the primary monitor

The problem doesn't occur if Evince is maximized on the primary monitor or if it is left unmaximized in step 2.

Confirming. This has been a very annoying bug during my thesis work.
I'm using sloppy focus and find that the focus is stolen most of the time if I move the focus from the newly created evince window to another application between step 5 and 6.
