Jani, we are happy to see evince as gtk-only application. But in current
state it's not optimal to check such kind of patch. Probably someone
will object to that but it will create additional problems without much
win. We do need to have gnome-based features and do need to use gnome
for that. 

Let's make this process incremental, for example, we already have patch
for popt, let's review and apply it. Then let's migrate to gtk-only
recent-files (I suspect this code is already merged into gtk, we just
need to use it).

I hope after that problem will disappear automatically. Until that
please update your patch, it's really interesting and useful. 
I'm adding the same comment to the bug.
