          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org

Okular can report trivial errors at the console at inconvenient times. For
instance if I start okular from the command line in a shell thus: okular
myfile.pdf & and then compile the latex file myfile.tex file.pdf in absent for
a short period and okular files the screen with errors.

This is somewhat antisocial and make it impossible to read the Latex output.

Here is an example of the mess it produces:
? Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary 
Error: Couldn't read xref table 
okular(7457)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know
"myfile" 
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... 
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary 
Error: Couldn't read xref table 
okular(7457)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know
"myfile" 
okular(7457)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know
"myfile" 
okular(7457)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know
"myfile" 
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table... 
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary 
Error: Couldn't read xref table

"myfile" 
qokular(7457)/kio (KDirWatch) KDirWatchPrivate::removeEntry: doesn't know
"myfile"
and so on

Expected Results:  
Nothing, okular should bear this temporary absence of the file with good grace
like kpdf and xdvi.
