Eh?  This was a joke. Right?  Did you ever tried to open .dvi file
in evince? It just tells me that it cannot do that.

And as far as xpdf goes then as long as evince does not have
equivalents for '-fullscreen', '-remote', '-reload', '-z', '-raise'
and few other things (and equivalents for /usr/bin/pdffonts,
/usr/bin/pdfimages, /usr/bin/pdfinfo, /usr/bin/pdftoppm,
/usr/bin/pdftops or /usr/bin/pdftotext) then it is not even coming
close.  Who actually knows what capabilities are as documentation
consist of /usr/share/doc/evince-0.4.0/ChangeLog and 
/usr/share/doc/evince-0.4.0/README which are not very telling.

I tried to bother with evince in the past.  I was not very succesful
