I think this is intended behaviour. Why would you launch evince, open the file menu, click open, use the nasty gtk filechooser and open the file you want, while you can actually locate the PDF file you want to view using any filemanager you want, double click it and it opens in evince (if you have evince set as default PDF application).

I won't fix this, as this has been changed upstream for this same reason. Since evince is only a viewing application, it makes no sense having it in the menus. I always use the same reason for cleaning up the windows startmenu: all stupid viewer apps that launch automatically have to go.
