   Thanks.  That explains it.  I logged into a plasma wayland session,   
   and the error message did not show up.   
      
   Thus it seems that starting a kde program like okular in xfce4 generates   
   problems, or at least error messages?  So that, as long as I stick   
   to xfce4, I should avoid using kde programs like okular.   
      
   Well then, another problem came up.  I tried to just log out from xfce4-   
   session   
   by using the "log out" button, but the screen just froze.  Had to do that   
   manually. Is this a xfce4 or slackware current problem?

   This seems to mean that a kde program will not always run under other   
   desktop   
   environments?   
      
   I tried to compile evince and zathura from SBo, but it did not work.   
   Alien seems not to have them.   
      
   Thanks Erich
