Would it create more bug reports than when someone unused to any KDE program
accidentally hides the menu bar and freaks out trying to get it back?

I really appreciate all the work you've done on Okular, expanding it into an
all-purpose pdf/djvu/chm/cbz/etc viewer, the development of the .okular archive
format to preserve metadata, the right blend of straight-lacedness and
customizablity with regard to DRM...

But the big fat unused (yes, unused. I've literally never used it) page bar at
the bottom is a wart. It's obviously the worst line in the poem, the character
in the movie that doesn't fit and must be cut out, someone's personal political
hobbyhorse that gets foisted onto relatives at Christmas. 

It does have an impact on the viewing experience, regardless of the user's
screen size. I read a lot of scanned documents with a 1080 display and I still
wish I had more vertical pixels. On my netbook? Let's not go there.

I'm guessing from the discussion about patches that it would be trivial to give
it a check under the view or settings menu, and/or a shortcut like Show
Menubar. Folks obviously want it.
