Comment 45 for bug 184337

I have ubuntu 8.1, running a gnome desktop. I use konqueror 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 and kate 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1

By default in this setup, konqueror launches a new instance of kate when you open a text file. To fix this, you can modify the command line the konqueror executes to:
kate -u %U
Which forces kate to open the file in the existing instance. I'm guessing that because the new instance of kate opens and then sends a message to the currently open instance and returns instantly, which konqueror treats as an execution failure?
This is all conjecture, and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
anyway, it gives me the:
KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'
message TWICE.
(And of course, everything works fine, it opens the document in the current instance)
My xsession error log has nothing in it. Is there another log I can look in?

Cheers,
Marty
