My Okular settings are messed up (menus are broken, details probably not important to describe).

I tried purging the package and reinstalling,
tried clearing okular files from “~/.config”,
got no relevant output opening from terminal,
saw nothing in man page bout getting more feedback…?

What do?

I couldn’t find anything on the man page about, like, a flag to get it to tell you what files it’s reading when it starts up or anything like that?
(
the only output I get when I open it from the commandline is:

Unable to open QuickAnnotatingTools XML definition
kf.xmlgui: Shortcut for action “mainToolBar” “Show Toolbar” set with QAction::setShortcut()! Use KActionCollection::setDefaultShortcut(s) instead.

)

    I would probably try running

    strace okular | grep openat

    to see all the files it’s trying to read and see if any aren’t managed by your package manager and move those.

    But the latest reply by felixernst in the kde discuss also looks helpful.
