bug#40449: 12.1; view with okular crashes

[Ernst Reissner]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX.  So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug
tracker.  Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex
to browse existing AUCTeX bugs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In newest version of auctex, there is no tex view list any more.
The old one was
 '(TeX-view-program-list
   (quote
    (("Okular" "okular -unique %o#src:%n%(masterdir)./%b"))
    ))

but as masterdir seems no longer supported, view crashes.
I modified:

 '(TeX-view-program-list
   (quote
    ;(("Okular" "okular -unique %o#src:%n%(masterdir)./%b"))
     (("Okular" "okular -unique %o#src:%n./%b"))
    ))

This works better but sometimes causes a crash with okular
if tried to tap on a menu item.
There is a workaround.
But of course this config is a workaround itself.
