Thank you for your patience and your help, Diederik. By now I've figured out the problem. When running okular from a terminal, it said: $ okular /path/to/file.pdf.gz ... okular(3581)/okular (app) Okular::Document::openDocument: No plugin for mimetype '"text/x-matlab"'. ... This reminded me of changes I made to /usr/share/doc/packages/freedesktop.xml and possibly some other mime-related files. Reinstalling the package shared- mime-info fixed the issue. However, using the command "mimetype" returned the correct mimetype and so did the properties dialog which can be accessed by right-clicking on the file in dolphin: $ mimetype file.pdf.gz file.pdf.gz: application/x-gzpdf (Of course I checked that before reinstalling shared-mime-info.) Thus, I still consider this to be strange behaviour of okular. In case I figure out why it determined the wrong mimetype, I'll submit another post as a follow-up.
