[evince] problems with specific filename

[Michael henn <michael henn uni-ulm de>]

Hello everyone,

I've posted this in the IRC channel, but got no answer, so i try it this
way:

I tried the following in my home directory:

$ echo "test" | a2ps -o .bashthis
$ evince .bashthis

Then evince opens with a big red bar saying:
Dokument konnte nicht geöffnet werden
Fehler beim Öffnen der Datei: Keine Berechtigung

meaning something like:
Document could not be opened
error while opening the file: no authorization

The interesting part is: The problem only occurs if i'm in my home
folder and the filename starts with ".bash". gv opens the file without
any problems.

When i try this (notice the missing h in "bash"):

$ echo "test" | a2ps -o .basthis
$ evince .basthis

it also works fine.
So ... what problem does evince have with files in my homedirectory
beginning with ".bash"?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Michael
