a) evince doesn't have the option of "automaticaly reload document
if changed"
b) evince doesn't display page numbers in the side-pane (combined
with the overall slowness of evince it makes very hard to find
particular part of the document on older machines...)
c) evince doesn´t let one move the document by dragging the mouse
(even if in the case of postscript it cannot select the text neither).

Well the worst what evince does is actually not with postscript,
but with djvu. It is a) many times slower than djview (since evince
loads several pages at once while djview displays only what is needed)
b) when I tried to install evince for FC3 it registered itself
as the default viewer for djvu files and didn't let me change it.
So this is quite arrogant behaviour, thus evince has no place on my desktop
anymore...
