At some point evince on my system stopped to use the document-specific preference that I have stored over the
past few years (such as inverted display for many PDFs).  Instead, every PDF is opened without that
preference.

I have the suspicion that it's apparmor related, as I get lots of errors every time I start evince:

I guess I can work around this with custom apparmor rules, but shouldn't the default be continue working as normal, and not loose important features by the default apparmor rules?
