I've been using mcomix without problems. This is something new (I update my
system weekly and only noticed this problem today; well, I don't use mcomix
every week, but even so...)

Nope. I don't run a Gnome system, and evince pulls an absurd bunch of
dependencies, even with most USE variables unset ("absurd" as in: why would
I need elogind, udisks, polkit, etc. just to read a comic book or view a
pdf?). By the way: zathura works fine, with very few dependencies, and
reads comic books, as well as pdf/djvu files. But it doesn't offer that
handy index sidebar with thumbnails.

Thanks,

Jorge
