Bug#587152: evince: needs to stop resizing its window

[Wookey]

evince 2.30.3-1 (in Debian unstable) (and in fact 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 in
Karmic) exhibits this problem. I am using XFCE (i.e xfwm4 v4.6.2-1 on
Debian and 4.6.1-1 on Ubuntu Karmic).

The way I experience this issue is that every new PDF I open appears
approximately full-screen, but slightly larger than my desktop. The
bottom scroll bar is off the bottom of the screen so one can't scroll
sideways or shink the window vertically with the mouse as the bottom
of the window frame is not visible. Sometimes it is slightly too wide
for the screen too (half the width of the side scroll-bar), but not
always. Within a session if you close and re-open a window it comes
back at the same size you closed it. I have not yet determined what
causes a window to revert/default to 'slightly taller than the screen'.

This behaviour is very annoying and seems to be long-standing and
across multiple distributions. It must be particularly frustrating for
the inexperienced who don't know the tricks to get to their
bottom-frame edge when it is off-screen.
