Me either, but I don't see that error. But that might be because I've customised something else. I don't think Evince is hardcoded to that location, but is using XDG environment variables for its starting point. There's an xdg folders/file thingo that presets standard directories used for certain things, (documents, downloads, etc.). Programs using those common file types, will use those locations by default (Evince, OpenOffice.org, Firefox, etc.). In my case, I've set them to ~/local/documents/, ~/local/downloads/, etc., and created those locations, since I want a less cluttered homespace, and since I have a similar ~/server/documents/ and ~/server/downloads/, etc., that I usually use, and I want a simple way to keep things in order. For system-wide configuration, see: /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults Read the opening comments in both of them. If you dump all your files into ~/data/, for instance, you could set all the locations to the same directory. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
