I thought I had a fairly good lmde64 install, straight from the last iso. After some days of use, however, I discovered a particular sensibility to PDF.
When I open a PDF file with Evince (I do not have Acrobat Reader), it's opening, briefly, then I see a nice screen, with a sad computer icon face in the center and the following text:
If this is not clear for you, well, I tried to reboot using Grub "mode dépannage" (repair mode). No way to get the system working, but this time I had a sad computer icon face in the center and the following text: (we are making progress...)Oh! mince! Quelque chose s'est mal passé.
Un problème est survenu et le système ne peut pas se récupérer.
Déconnectez-vous et essayez à nouveau.
Which basically is an appropriate translation to the above text.Oh no! Something has gone wrong
A problem has occured and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again.
No way to get the system working again. I had to reinstall my system using Clonezilla (five minutes). I did it already five times so I can say that this bug is solidly in place in my system.
Now my system looks like being in perfect order but I know that if I try to open a PDF, it will crash again.
I would like to squash this bug and make a nice bug report and I am looking for expert advice (with not too many PDF openings..).

I tried to check pdf file with an antivirus (Clamav): no problem
I tried to open a pdf file with Acrobat Reader9 : crash of Gnome 3 (Cinnamon)
Mate is unconcerned by this. It works normally and I can open any pdf files using Acrobat Reader without trouble.
Just Gnome 3 is gone with the wind.
