All the users I know agree that "Okular would be great without the crappy
toolbar that is completely useless and can't be turned off." None of us
understands why exactly it can't be turned off and some of them rather use xpdf
because it can at least do fullscreen.

I use KDE apps because I can set them up - get rid of space-wasting giant icons
and useless toolbars I don't need. Every KDE app can be customised to make
particular user happy. And then there is Okular with the toolbar noone wants
that can't be turned off.

Why not presume Okular users are not idiots who randomly click options and
can't click on them again in case of undesired effect? I think there already is
another DE built with exactly those users in mind. (note that Evince can do
fullscreen)

As of "usability research": Users tend to dislike changes and new things they
are not used to, but this is definitely not the case so this bug and it's votes
are THE real usability research which is ignored for very long. 

Why don't I hack the patch? Because I think a skilled Okular developer should
do so as it's extremely important and influences entire Okular experience.
