 As I said, there's mozplugger which doesn't require a bonobo backend.

 And as you read, upstream is moving away of bonobo, so there won't be
 an evince-bonobo.  There's probably an upstream bug on a mozilla
 plugin already.

 Try installing mozplugger instead of evince, you should get embedded
 PDF docs.

 Since your original report is on mozilla-bonobo, I'm not sure what we
 can improve on that front.
