Suggestion: Replace Evince with Atril

[Thanos Apostolou]

As far as I have understood, the desired effect is to keep the ISO as small as 
possible, so some people wouldn't like it to have both software (I think that 
the latest xubuntu release didn't even include a media player). So, maybe it 
would be better if someone of the xubuntu team could create a poll at the 
facebook page https://www.facebook.com/xubuntuusers/?fref=ts
Since it's just a facebook page (and not a group) I think that a facebook app 
is needed in order to create a poll. Or maybe it's easier to create something 
similar at the google+ and twitter pages (I don't use them so much so I have 
no knowledge about it).
