OK. I am a little confused here. Do you prefer single click or double? The 
settings you choose in the above mentioned config should apply across all KDE 
applications. If it does not it is mostly a bug if not a consciously made 
decision.

You mean, in the open file dialog? Is that behavior unique to Okular?
In here, i have single click enabled and Okular opens the file when i click on 
a pdf file in dolphin or launch okular and pick the file from it's open file 
dialog.
