Please provide a sample file and a recipe for reproducing the issue.

Ok, so my problem is that I was testing by calling the viewer from after
\end{document}. Calling it from inside the text works just fine. Sorry
about that.

Forward sync with evince still isn't as good as it could be. See for
instance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1716268, which offers
synchronisation up to the line number, with a nice red box around the
current line. But it seems too specific to be included in auctex. Shame
there isn't a more general interface to communicate between editors and
viewers.

[Tassilo Horn] [AUCTeX] Inverse Search with Evince & DBUS

Hi Antoine and Ralf,

I have no clue why, but the two fordwarded mails didn't make it to the
list (or Gmane).  Anyway, I've found the reason and the second mail
contains a patch.

Bye,
Tassilo

It is rather trivial to make Emacs call the "Ubuntu"-scripts. 

Using somewhat modefied scripts I am able to have forward and backward
search with Evince+Emacs. Very nice!

BTW: I use the latest release (not CVS). From the other posts it seems
mostly redundant to use external synctex scripts with CVS, no? (Except
for the indeed very nice red box)

Cheers,
Rasmus

Except for the red box and synchronisation at the line level, yes.

TeX-source-correlate-sync-source uses goto-line

TeX-source-correlate-sync-source uses goto-line, which is apparently
discouraged. Besides, it leaves disgracious "mark set" messages. I'm not
familiar with this kind of things so I don't know what's good practice,
but here's a patch that replaces it with what it says in the doc.

I just tried to swtich to auctex-cvs, however, it does not work due to the
SyncTeX changes, it seems. I have also updated to the latest emacs-bzr.

I get the following error when I try to enter LaTeX-mode

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (dbus-error "No connection to bus" :session)
|   dbus-register-signal(:session nil "/org/gnome/evince/Window/0" "org.gnome.evince.Window"

|   call-interactively(LaTeX-mode t nil)
|   execute-extended-command(nil)
|   call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
|   recursive-edit()
`----

Dbus is running. . . 

Thanks,
Rasmus

\addcontents inaccuracy

Hi,

When using C-c RET addcontentsline

AUCTeX asks for a normal filename for the file, however, the
file-argument should be one of these three (extension of the file; see
manual):
lof, lot, toc

The same thing applies to \addtocontents. I'm aware that some packages
write their entry files to support \listofsomething{}. Would it be an
idea to look at the list of files in the current directory and find
files with extensions of something like "lo[a-z]*", and use those along
with the above three?

I cannot reproduce this.

Was your Emacs compiled with D-Bus support?

What's the output of
M-: (getenv "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS") <RET>
and
M-: (featurep 'dbusbind) <RET>
?

 From what I can gather from config it compiles with Dbus by default, eh?

This is the config part

,----

|     ./configure \
| 	--prefix=/usr \
| 	--sysconfdir=/etc \
| 	--localstatedir=/var \
| 	--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
| 	--without-sound \

|     make

nil

It probably shouldn't be...?
