Or, perhaps one of these are actually the same file? On my system they are the same file (/usr/bin/X11 is a symlink to '.'), so that's not the problem. >mime type associations ... uhhh >I went to system settings (via the AltF2), then advanced then >file associations, put pdf in the search box, opened the *.pdf >response, and saw okular in the lower box. Okay, that's the correct place for KDE associations. It might not affect non-KDE applications though. You say you see okular in the lower box. I see 4 things in the lower box: "Okular", "GNU Image Manipulation Program", "KPDF/KDE3", and "KGhostView/KDE3". If you see multiple applications listed, make sure "Okular" is the one on the top (the "most preferred" application). You can use the "Move Up" button to increase the preference level of the selected application in that bottom box. After making sure "Okular" is the most preferred application, make sure the desktop file is set up correctly. Select "Okular", then activate the "Edit..." button. A "Properties for okularApplication_pdf" dialog should appear. In that dialog, on the "Application" tab, make sure the "Command" is set to 'okular %U %i -caption "%c"'. That should make your settings mirror my own (which, as I mentioned, work). If you made changes you want to keep, activate the "OK" button; otherwise, activate the "Cancel" button. The "Properties for okularApplication_pdf" dialog should close. You should be back in the "File Associations - System Settings" window. If it is enabled, activate the "Apply" button and then close the window. If you get a notice that this will only affect newly started applications, log out of your current session and then log back in.
