Hi Thierry,
I don't care for "kate" either. I am trying to get rid of it !
I originally went into Synaptic and tried to remove it from there, but it wanted to remove most of TDE. So I chickened out and tried to rename every instance that I could find to stop it opening up when ever I selected a text file. I also tried "open with" and "remember application". So I've now been round and deleted every instance that I can find, but it simply replaces the renamed or deleted files.

Seems we'll need some of the wizards that make TDE. I thought maybe deleting or renaming the program would do - but after deleting /opt/trinity/bin/kate... I can still start kate!
I would guess parts of kate are integrated in konqueror (as it seems to be the default editor).
So removing kate seems at least very difficult. It is the default embeded editor (and there is no other editor proposed in the list in the ControlCenter. I can associate kedit with *.txt files, but kate remains the default embeded editor.
This may explain why it's difficult (impossible?) to remove, but I've never seen it respawning.
