Thank you for the information.

You sit in front of

  [1]> strace -e mkdir evince
  mkdir("/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince", 0700) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

  (evince:8463): EvinceDocument-WARNING **: Failed to create directory /home/danielt/.gnome2/evince: Permission denied
  [0]> strace -e mkdir perl -le 'mkdir "/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince",0700 or die($!)'
  mkdir("/home/danielt/.gnome2/evince", 0700) = 0

and think: "What the fu^W^Wheck is going on?"

I've checked for SELinux (Where I've had a similar problem), but until a
few hours ago, I've never ever heard about AppArmor.

Maybe I'll give it a try sometime, but not know. (I'm angry about
AppArmor at the moment :)
