hi,
 I actually had in .local/share/gvfs-metadata a file evince.data
 whose content was strictly impossible to understand:

 a list of 335 pdf files (that seems normal)
 a list of 460.mp4 files I swear I never used evince to open
   a .mp4 file !!

 Anyway, it was 1 month old and no more used.
 In ~/.config/evince/ I have 2 files
   accels
   print-settings: this one actually contains the saved print
                   configuration(default printer, duplex,...)

 but I found nothing about other evince settings.
 I did a very simple experiment:
  - in evince, change the default zoom and quit
  - open evince: the last zoom setting was actually saved
  - now try to find where.
    for a normal program, something like
       - locate -i evince > t
       - ls -lt `cat t`
    would give the answer... but not for evince.

 So, your question is still not answered, as is mine posted 1 month
 ago:

    When I open the print dialog, I get a list of printers which doesn't
    correspond to the actually installed printers: one of them
    actually existed on my system 5 months ago, but I removed it, and
    it doesn't exist now,
    Why does evince still has it?
    Where by God is hidden this list. and how to correct it?

My evince version is 3.14.1-2 , under Jessie.
BTW:  dconf dump gives me the same thing as you, but I have no
      /org/gnome/evince or /org/gnome directory

best regards,
