I was getting this error every time I tried running Kate from the launcher. In my case, it was searching for kate in the wrong place (/usr/lib/kde4/bin instead of /usr/bin).
What I did to fix it was to create a symbolic link inside /usr/lib/kde4/bin like so:
$ cd /usr/lib/kde4/
$ sudo mkdir bin
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kate kate
BTW, I am running KDE 4.3.0 amd64 from the PPA, which I installed a couple of days ago (and the problem seems to have started as soon as I did that... It worked fine before).

Hope that helps somebody!
