My evince also remembers the last-viewed position in PDF files; nonethless it
respects the option passed by gretl. You can test this (what gretl's doing)
at the command line. For example
evince gretl-guide.pdf --named-dest=chap:join
should open at the top of the "Joining data sources" chapter.
(Though maybe not if the Guide is already open in evince?)
Problem solved with evince. As for atril, it seems that at least 1.12.2 it
doesn't have the equivalent option. It does have, however, an option for
opening a document at a specific page number. Perhaps we could use a
\pageref{}?
