Evince alternative

[Rafael Laguna]

In fact, I already fixed this annoying bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-artwork/+bug/1256560).
This happened due to a change in GTK3 libraries (surprising me, I must
admit) and I repaired this. I don't know why you get this bug in
Saucy. Maybe you should add our daily ppa to get rid of that
(ppa:lubuntu-art/daily).

Eric Bradshaw's tweak managed to make the menus readable again, but still the traditional textual menus (upper left: File/Edit/View...) are replaced by two unlabeled buttons upper right, quite different from all other applications. So I decided to turn to Atril (as a fork probably 99% equal to evince anyway). Removing Lubuntu-desktop proved harmless, at least for now...

We tested before other solutions and Evince is not so resource-hungry, it respects image standards (colour profiles, icc resampling, anti-aliasing, etc) more than any other solution that, unfortunately, use "strange" UI solutions (FLTK, non-GTK, etc).
