Re: [evince] evince version 2.30.3 opens document to the last page.

[Bob van der Poel <bob mellowood ca>]

Just a guess here ... but evince "remembers" the last page you
accessed and reopens the file at that page the next time. I've never
quite figured out it's logic, but it is fairly robust.

No idea why it doesn't open to page 1.

Did you try to convert the ps file to pdf and see what differences?

HTH,
