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

[Pausanias]

nZain, I'm not sure what's wrong with your setup, because replacing
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince with the file I attached worked
flawlessly for me after restarting apparmor. Did you try using my exact
file, rather than editing your own file? I did not modify
usr.bin.evince.

Also, I rejected the most recent evince update with the newer apparmor
profile.

To change default player, you have to do it by extension. Find and AVI
file in nautilus. Right-click, properties, open with, select your media
player (totem or vlc). You have to repeat this with each type of file
(mp4, mpg, etc.)

And I still think the state of the evince apparmor profile has not been
well thought out. You should not be restricting the helper applications
that a user can call from evince. What if I want to make a presentation
that views a .XYZ file with my special graphics program renderXYZ (not
at all uncommon for scientific presentations)? I have to have root
access so I can edit that abstraction file? This is a poor design
choice.
