Thanks for the reply.
The problem with that is that it installs all the kde runtime
libraries. The machine that I am using is really limited in power. I
can't even run GNOME here without slowdowns etc. I am guessing all
those runtime libraries will eat up alot of RAM and cpu cycles
every time I run okular.
