Description of problem: After opening the attached PS file, the document pane of evince stays empty and after trying to access some widgets of the viewer the window decorations start to show weird colour changes and other artifacts. The following sequence is spawned to the console repeatedly when evince was launched from it: (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkScrolledWindow': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkOverlay': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkBox': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkPaned': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkBox': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:4007): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvWindow': invalid matrix (not invertible) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-3.14.1-3.fc21 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attached PS file "bphi.ps". Actual results: Document is not displayed and after a moment rendering artifacts affect the window borders. Expected results: Document is displayed as expected. Additional info: - ghostscript displays the document as expected - after converting the PS file to PDF by means of ps2pdf, the resulting PDF file is displayed instantaneously and correctly

This is the same problem as in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76450. The patch there fixes the problem for me but it introduces some other problems. I'm working on improving it and I will push it to Fedora's libspectre once it is ready.
For current Fedora 21, the colour artifacts observed for the window decorations are gone. Indeed, even the PS figure is shown correctly after rotating it by 90 degrees either to the left or to the right.
