Here's a transcript of a session showing problem , at the end after I create the last_settings file manually evince starts up

So it's not a major issue for me as I can manually create the file to get evince running.

Note, I originally reported this under Bug 572028 which was the same issue with last_settings file reported by someone else; but was redirected to this bug.
