[Bug 462419] Re: evince apparmor profile prevents movies from opening

[nZain]

For my previous postings, my file was the same as the one posted by
Pausanias on 2009-11-10. The attached file is the current one (no time
for a diff, its lunchtime - sry).

Just to prevent confusion - today I got some evince-related updates from
the update-manager, and thus the /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince
file changed. It asked me to keep my modified version or to get the
current upstream version. I accepted the current upstream version, so my
current file is not the same as posted by Pausanias on 2009-11-10.
However, the changes were related to browsers and other stuff - totem,
vlc, and videos were not involved. Consequently the problem remains
unsolved. The current upstream version gives me the same errors as
before. I'll now try to add the mystical two lines, again, and reload
apparmor.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. The message in kern.log remains, telling

Nov 11 12:00:31 dell-xps kernel: [ 1098.989525] type=1503
audit(1257937231.565:30): operation="exec" pid=2418 parent=2417
profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="::x" denied_mask="::x"
fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/usr/bin/totem"

Furthermore evince is unable to read the /etc/gnome/defaults.list

Nov 11 11:59:38 dell-xps kernel: [ 1045.440625] type=1503
audit(1257937178.014:28): operation="open" pid=2408 parent=1
profile="/usr/bin/evince" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r"
fsuid=1000 ouid=0 name="/etc/gnome/defaults.list"

Anyways, I'm not able to change the default video player.. tried
system->preferences->preferred applications, but the menu only talks
about multimedia in general. In nautilus I can change the applications,
but this is for media-insertion (like cds).
