	Lots of people have been saying this, and I love evince, but I don't
really understand the rationale. An image *is* very different from a
document and perhaps the UI is similar, but I don't expect to want to
search for text, or scroll through pages, or a look at an index or ...
with an image.

	e.g. in the real world, you handle photos and books very differently.
