All versions you posted, and all efforts I had carried out independently 
before, came to the same result: evince reports that it has a 
'permission denied' on the textedit_url.sh or textedit.py or whatever 
script I had installed. However, invoking gnome-open with the right 
parameter worked.

It turns out that Ubuntu (I'm on 12.0.4) no longer uses gnome-open, but 
another mechanism, exo-open (?). AppArmor (?) now prevents evince from 
opening external links. I found a solution in 
http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.nl/2012/05/fix-evince-is-unable-to-open-external.html

$ sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince 
/etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.evince
$ sudo service apparmor restart

And voila, point-and-click works (again).
