Description:
I am using gnome3 and evince 3.6.1.
I want to set evince as the default program to open pdf files.
Now the default program is gimp, and I cannot change the default program to evince
because evince does not appear in other program list.

I have addressed this problem and found out the reason.

$ grep -i nodisplay /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop
NoDisplay=true

It seems that this NoDisplay field in evince.desktop makes this trouble.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
3.6.1-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a nautilus window
2. Right click on a pdf file
3. Select "Open With > Other application.."
4. Click "Show other applications"
5. No Document Viewer in the list!!
This task depends upon
