Kate drives me nuts. Its a good editor but every time you right click
to edit a file in konqueror using kate it starts a new window. If I use
a command window and specify --use it will "reuse" an existing window if
one is started for the session I specify. However because kdeinit
starts it I cannot pass a parm through konqueror.
So I get 30 kate windows on my desktop when all I want is one. Ideally
I'd like kate to open the file I've chosen in the instance of kate which
is already open ON THAT DESKTOP.

Has anyone figured this out?

I haven't figured it out but I can say that it used to work.

I still have a 9.3 system up and running, and when asking Konqueror to
open a file in Kate, it will reuse a presently running Kate. I don't
know if this is the same in 10.0, but trying it in 10.1 doesn't work.
