It was a conscious design decision for evince to not appear in the
menus.  There seems to be no advantage to starting evince on its own, as
it is very much a viewer and not a creator.  We can perhaps finesse the
NoDisplay issue with a white list or black list.  A better approach
might be to categorize that kind of application by mime-type.

While it has a terrible name, something like this might be an
interesting add-on to mugshot:

The design is pretty bad, but the overall idea is good.  The mugshot
server would be a great basis to do this right.

Thanks,
