            Bug ID: 361740
           Summary: Command line option to disable presentation mode and
                    warning "The document requested to be launched in
                    presentation mode""
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: stas-fomin at yandex.ru

When using Okular as previewer in PDFTex workflow,  preparing beamer slides,
the following usability hell occured:
* LaTex/Beamer slides should be compiled to PDF with metadata "StartFullScreen"
* But while editing,  on every PDF change/and reload, user got a modal popup 
        "The document requested to be launched in presentation mode." "Do you
want to allow it?" 
(See part.cpp)
* This make typical Slide/LaTeX/Beamer editing workflow completely unusable.

I see several options how to handle it.
* Should be commandline options ("--disablefullscreen" or like this), and
Okular launched from Kile with this option should ignore all this
"StartFullScreen" metadata.
* Global preference "Disable Presentation Mode". And if the OS is used to LaTex
editing workflow, the owner possible can swith Okular in Presentation Mode.
* Completelety disable this warning on reload of the changed document.
