Is this in gnome environment, or with a different window manager?

I'm seeing it as well, in regular GNOME.

issue is much broader: evince and evolution both don't remember their last size (correctly) and are reset to 600x600 px.
For example pressing View -> layout -> Show toolbar in evolution also resizes it to 600x600
can somebody confirm this?

I can. Guess this might be a gtk3 problem. It also happens with gedit and gthumb.

Here's a patch we could use right away to fix this until the next upstream release, it seems to be annoying a lot of people.
   PKGBUILD (1.5 KiB)
   gtkwindow.c.patch (4.3 KiB)
