Pino said it right: The warnings are "unuseful". They hamper work: Whether you
start okular on the command line or (sorry, no vi here :-)) Emacs, they cluster
your screen. I often use "okular * &" on the shell, and then "mv" or "rm" the
shown files. With the unnecessary warnings, this requires periodic C-l to clear
the screen.

Besides that, they also overshadow any real issues that may be hidden beneath.
As a non-developer, I cannot judge whether the warnings indicate a problem, or
a problem soon to emerge, or if "they are harmless". That's why I filed the two
bugs. Do I know whether the bookmark_action_0 warning reflects the missing
xmlns in Konqueror's bookmarks.xml? No, and I do not want to ask every time I
run okular.

IMVHO a program should never output warnings in "normal" operations, so that
the user does not become accustomed to them and misses a critical one. Or the
developer when testing the program.
