As you use evince, you may be a gnome user, so this might not help you. I 
recently had all my kde associations and (very surprisingly) a number of 
others from other DEs go scrambled. Rebuilding kdelibs fixed all of it.

I never did figure out how this could occur. Possibly it's something to do 
with DEs converging on freedesktop.org standards, so an oopsie in one can have 
system-wide side0effects.
