I suspect that this may be a red herring: I think that the thumbnails
might have been shown before, with version 2.20. I will have to test it
again (I have version 2.22 installed right now). I just use it without
the side pane.

I moved the .gconf* and .gnome2* directories out of the way and it still
doesn't work. I guess that more investigations will be needed. :-(

I tried installing the -gtk only version, but it breaks the
configuration as gnome-desktop-environment explicitly wants evince and,
of course, evince-gtk doesn't "Provides:" evince.

Thanks, Rogério Brito.
