Can each new window be started in its own process?

My biggest problem with Evince is that it suddenly crashes for no reason
and takes out all my documents. I have 10 virtual desktops with PDF
books, product manuals, documentation, etc all open to what I'm working
on. When Evince crashes, BOOM! every single document I am looking at is
gone. If there was some way to start each new document in a new process,
it would be good because if any single document crashed, it wouldn't
take out all the others. I can have tens of documents open at once and
it is a huge pain to try to get back to where I was. It would be nice to
have an option like web browsers used to have to "start each new
document in its own process" to isolate them from each other. (Or, of
course, Evince not to crash constantly in the first place. I've been
running Fedora since 2006, and now just migrated to 64-bit Fedora 11.)

This is in our RoadMap[1] for GNOME 2.30 indeed. I'm already working on
it.

Thanks for the feedback!
