OK. But my original point still stands: Okular is not designed to be a stand-alone app, it is designed to run in the context of something bigger. And that context is KDE. KDE is a full-featured desktop environment, it assumes that the user will want phonon and everything that comes with it, plus plasma. So when you emerge okular and get a boat load of new deps pulled in, why are you surprised when that goes the way it is designed, the way it says on the box? It's not a stand-alone app. This is also not Windows, here you have choices and there's no shortage of pdf readers out there. Pick another one -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
