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.

The point is that Kate is not just "one program" but it is a collection of software pieces. There is the default editor which is used in KWrite, Kate and TDevelop, there is the main Kate application and then there is a Kate KPart as well, which is what you see for example embedded in Konqueror. You can delete the main KAte program but the Kate KPart is part of tdelibs and together with the editor it is deeply integrated in TDE. Best way to "not use Kate" is to change the default application for the various file types that are currently associated with Kate. Cheers Michele
