[Okular-devel] Better separation of okular core library from the frontend

Hi,

This has always been the case: Document does not asks for pixmaps on its 
own, but it does on behalf of PixmapRequest's sent by the observers.
When a pixmap for a page is available, Document notifies the observers 
about that and they will act accordingly.
Please also note that this part (observers) is not totally "public API", 
especially (as already said) the public okularcore API is currently 
taylored for generator plugins, not really for users of Document.

Given that this is the pixmap generation workflow, it is not pointless 
at all.
