Evince ignores the embedded textedit:// urls by default, but you can
tell it via gconf to pass them to whatever you like.

Apply the attached gconf schema file with:

gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=textedit.schemas

And save the attached script in ~/bin/ (don't forget to make it
executable. I use gvim as my editor, so you'll have to make some changes
to use it with emacs. It should be fairly self-explanatory - let me know
if you need any help. Emacs users might have some tips too...

If you uncomment the lines with 'logfile', the script will record your
clicks to a log - useful for debugging.

Cheers,

Mark
