Hi Thomas (and others),

Thanks for your answer! This does work... in some way. In the sense that
it manages to open evince to read the PDF outside of Emacs; but this
does not restore (of course) the "normal" behavior of =C-c C-e l o= to
display the PDF in a dedicated Emacs buffer.

I'm also on Arch/Manjaro, this might play a role... But it's not a big
deal anyway (and I've actually written a simple workaround in Elisp to
display and revert the associated PDF in its side window).

Cheers,
Frédéric
