Evince (the pdf viewer) used to reload my .pdf files after I compiled them in LaTeX. However, this behavior has recently stopped to the point where I have to manually reload Evince (control + R) to show changes. I have tried resetting the desktop environment (i.e. reboot) but this doesn't help.

Any ideas on how I can go about troubleshooting this? My Googling has given me the vague awareness that Evince depends on other services (inotify?) for this feature, but I am not sure how I can go about diagnosing what the problem is precisely.
