I think that Frescobaldi is supposed to do its own point-and-click deal,
but you may need to start the previewer from Frescobaldi for that.

Yes, it's non-sense pointing evince to Frescobaldi.

I'd like to set gvim or emacs as alternatives.

Configure EDITOR to use emacsclient rather than emacs, and run M-x
server-start RET (or do it from .emacs) in the Emacs that is supposed to
catch the point-and-click.

Mmmh,  too complicate, I'll set gvim.

However, it seems to me that the configuration in .bashrc only works for URIs opened using gnome-open.

When I click on Evince, .bashrc is totally ignored
