61 packages later, and okular will open the document, and prints it very 
well ... however (so far) I can only actually view page 1 (of 4 in this 
case) ... if I start it from the CLI (/opt/kde4/bin/okuklar) it opens 
but spits out about 500 lines of errors.  Is calling okular directly 
like that not the way to do it?
