evince-thumbnailer hogs system

Submitted by Johannes Rohr Link to original bug (#774990)
Description
I was experiencing frequent lockups with my GNOME desktop lately, both on Debian and Arch Linux, and it turned out the cause was evince thumbnailer, which consumed tremendous amounts of CPU time and memory so that not only 8 GB of ram but also 8 GByte of swapspace were exhaused, leaving the desktop unresponsive for ten minutes or so (to the degree that even the clock in the panel didn't move for the whole time) As a workaround I have now disabled evince-thumbnailer by commenting out the Exec line in /usr/share/thumbnailers/evince.thumbnailer, since then the system is back to normal
