Again, probably talking out of my butt, but it looks like kate is based off
of kwrite (if you look at the online help, there are a lot of "thanks to foo
kwrite developer" in there). So I think the split is: kedit == textpad while
kate == kde version of gvim. At least on my system kedit starts a lot
quicker that kate does, so it must be doing *something* more :-).

P.S. I'm CC:ing the list in case anyone else has your problem. One less
person bugging Ivan about something is one step closer to having a happy
maintainer *grin*
