Bad user-experience with posters (large documents)

Hi guys,

this one should be easy to fix. On Ubuntu, evince is the default previewer for PDFs, and as such it is also used to preview "posters", meaning documents with paper-size DIN-A1, DIN-A0, or similar, and up. Info says 2.32.0,
this is on Ubuntu/natty.

For poster-sized documents, evince ALWAYS comes up in the largest possible size, meaning filling the complete width of my full-HD monitor, and EVEN full-height, meaning that the evince window hides (or is hidden) beneath my XFCE task-bar.

This is wrong, because:

1) I requested evince to respect the previously selected window size
2) full-width is crazy for A*-sized portrait formats
3) full-width hides a lot of my other windows, showing only blank pixels
4) the original documents is scaled-down anyway.

5) the user has to resize the window
6) which is DIFFICULT, as the bottom-right window-resize corner is actually BELOW the task-bar.

I presume you never tested with large (=large paper-size) documents or posters?
Or did I mis-configure/uninstall something, and evince behaves better on other systems?

Please consider

a) keeping my selected preferences (=the window size when I selected <ctrl+T>, meaning
    use-current-settings-as-future-defaults),

b) being smart and deciding that full-height (minus task-bar !!!) would be good for portrait-sized
    documents, should you prefer not to keep the user-preferences,

c) avoiding going full-screen (hiding the task-bar, hiding everything else with just blank pixels).

Best,
  Norman
