[RFC][PATH] Replace %F with %U in Exec entry of evince.desktop



It seems that Evince is able to open files on smb:// locations. At least
I was able to do it on my home system through the "Open" dialog, while
the same action failed double clicking on supported file icons in
Nautilus.

I didn't check .desktop specs on freedesktop.org, but replacing %F with
%U in the value of the Exec key in desktop file, I can now open
supported file[1] directly in Nautilus browsing smb share. %U should
mean "more then one URL passed as option on command line"

Here is a patch to
      * replace %F with %U in .desktop file
      * Add "TryExec=evince" entry in .desktop file


[1] well, honestly I tried only PDF files...
