Good point, I think the current behavior is the intended behavior then. It is
probably more problematic than good to intelligently decide whether to show the
notification or not.

Then the remaining part of this bug is whether Okular could show the first
pages of a document while the last pages are still downloading. If Evince can
do that, Poppler apparently can do that, and I don’t see a reason why the
Generator interface of Okular couldn’t handle that.
