Yeah, you're right. Sorry for being to generic. :)
Nothing shoes up, but the terminal keeps running. So, no, I'm not
getting back to the console prompt.

I think it started after upgrading to 4.8.4-1. But it worked in the
meantime, but now the problem started again (no correlating to any
okular upgrade

Both with or without a document.

Enabling only okular debug areas leads to no output at all. Enabling
everything just shows:
$ okular
okular(27821)/kdeui (KGlobalAccel) KActionCollection::addAction:
Registering action "go_first" under new name "first_page"
okular(27821)/kdeui (KGlobalAccel) KActionCollection::addAction:
Registering action "go_last" under new name "last_page"
okular(27821)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to
open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-sqrt/ksycoca4"
okular(27821)/kdeui (KGlobalAccel) KActionCollection::addAction:
Registering action "file_save_as" under new name "file_save_copy"
okular(27821)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(27821)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(27821)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(27821)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
^C
This, and the fact that it worked in the meantime without changing
anything Okular related leads me to believe that the problem might not
be Okular specific.
Btw: I don't have any other KDE software installed, just Okular (and
systemsettings) on top of an Openbox installation.
