kate as set apart editor?

Good time of the day.


Is it possible to use kate as set apart editor?

Having moved from KDE to LXDE, I got diver problems w/ kate - its
window parts (the editing area) are update only when cursor is moved,
often, it crashes by simple opening 'Open File' dialog.

Running from terminal (sux-ing for the user) I see this:

kate(20018)/kdecore (KSycoca): Error, KSycocaFactory (id = 1 ) not
found! kate(20018)/kdecore (KSycoca): Error, KSycocaFactory (id = 2 )
not found! kate(20018): No ksycoca4 database available! 

kate(20018)/kdecore (trader) KServiceTypeTrader::defaultOffers:
KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType  "KTextEditor/Plugin"  not found
kate(20018): No ksycoca4 database available! 

kate(20018)/kdecore (trader) KServiceTypeTrader::defaultOffers:
KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType  "Kate/Plugin"  not found KCrash:
Application 'kate' crashing... KCrash: Attempting to
start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/home/user1/.kde/socket-dark/kdeinit4__1 Warning:
connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash: Attempting to
start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly

So, is it possible to use kate as single editor - like vim,
emacs? If yes, then what should be done special for this? May some
stoppers should be installed/configured? I like this editor - for I was
using KDE for about 12 years - I would still use it, report bugs to
help improving it, etc.
