Hmm, this is bad news. Apart from print png which has to stay as a
separate external viewer program (evince does not load pngs) all the
other sorts of print involve some sort of specification about what is to
be typeset; this specification is not stored anywhere - it is used to
generate the data in the LilyPond window and then forgotten.
What will be good is to store this specification (essentially the
arguments to the call to export_lilypond() and then re-use them when the
evince widget needs refreshing. 
This will have the added advantage that the user can select the passage
being worked on and print just that and then have it refresh as it is
modified.
However, this is a fair amount of work, so I think it should wait for
our 1.0 release. If you agree can you revert the changes you did?
Perhaps the current PrintPreview command could simply show the print
view window - that is, do the same thing as View->Typeset Music. I have
just tried this out and it will work ok I think - I will keep the code
and commit it if you revert your changes. Sorry not to have foreseen the
problems you would run into when I suggested that.
