Description of problem: There is a hardcoded 'Requires: evince' which adds dependencies on gnome. There exist other pdf viewer viewers (xpdf, okular) so it would be better to remove this Requires: and to use 'xdg-open' for opening pdf files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-auctex-11.86-1.fc13.noarch
This is a tough one. Why not xdg-open: xdg-open doesn't handle the command line parameters that need to be passed to the viewer application (whether it be evince, or okular, or whatever) that auctex needs. I originally added facility to use evince as the pdf viewer (rather than xpdf) to the previous release of auctex in reponse to a number of bug reports requesting it. And then the most recent upstream auctex release use evince by default. And this is how we got to where we are. Your complaint is very much a legitimate one, but I don't immediately see a good solution to keep everyone happy. I could simply drop the Requires from the package, I suppose. It'd be nice to add a subpackage, say emacs-auctex-kde which drops a config file into the site-start.d directory and configures things nicely for okular so that KDE users don't end up installing emacs-auctex only to find that they have to configure it by hand to use okular rather than the (not installed) evince. A patch would be very welcome :)

removal of the 'Requires:' is fair; emacs users should be able to adjust TeX-view-program-selection.
