I am not fastidious enough to be disturbed by a warning that results in no
ulterior effect. But I'm not you.
Apparently, installing the 'kinit' package has been known to make the warning
vanish (as per bug #869151, which might conceivably be related to, but
is not precisely, your gnat).

Thanks Curt!
I already had kinit installed. I tried installing kinit-dev in a grasping-at-straws move,
and it also had no effect.
One other thing i tried was to see if launching okular from the kde terminal app konsole would help. It doesn't.
So probably at this point i need to use a different pdf reader.
The reason i'm using okular in the first place is that evince also emits what i think is an inappropriate error message: when you try to open a pdf file for which you do not have a *.tex source, it complains. :)
I appreciate all the help!
