It seems like a corrupted XML file (maybe a Glade file?), can you try
re-installing the evince package?

Doing an strace to evince startup y found that open :
 * /usr/share/evince/evince-toolbar.xml
 * /usr/share/evince/evince-ui.xml
 * ~/.gnome2/evince/evince_toolbar.xml
 * ~/.gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml

If you had removed ~/.gnome2 as you tell in the other email, I think
that /usr/share/evince/evince-toolbar.xml
or /usr/share/evince/evince-ui.xml is broken in you installation.
