Hi Ernest,

The AppMenu mentioned is not the old style menu bar.  The AppMenu is an
application drop-down menu on the top GNOME Shell bar. This menu is for
actions that affect the entire application, not for specific windows of
the application. I think that the AppMenu (one with the Help option) is
shown in your Evince bar because you are not using GNOME.

Quite possible the menu buttons you have are:
1) AppMenu
2) View Options
3) Document Options

apart from the Search button

AFAIK, there is no plan to modificate the toolbar. There is a related
open bug about this (#692969), but this depends of the resources
avalaible (Evince devs are volunteers) and if the the maintainer finds
an acceptable design for this.

Cheers,
