The following, however, showed what you need to muck with:

Presuming all that shows up is exclusively kate-the-editor related

something else (NOT a safe bet), you could remove all of it and it
should
be as if you never had run it.
I get:
katemetainfos
katepartrc
katerc
kateschemarc
katesyntaxhighlightingrc
katevirc
That all looks "safe" to remove.
Am I correct?
Some advice from a professional system administrator on some system or
another since 1978 to present:
A good practice all system administrators who are short on time should
follow is: Develop a standard naming methodology for yourself - a
convention - and make a directory, for instance here perhaps
.kate_removed, and then move the potentially offending files aside into
this repository.
Presumably, the next time you launch Kate it'll build up a new set. You
can then compare the new and old and perhaps learn something, and maybe
even find where the change was that caused you this pain.
It's quick, easy, and if you removed something you shouldn't have, it's
quickly reversible.
Some of the files were re-created.
Some were *NOT*.
KATE is visually somewhere between how it used to be and what it was
just before my first post today.
Will have to retry some things tomorrow - need sleep I didn't get last
night. I may also have OS problems - will check and take to the
debian-user list.
Hopefully a KATE expert will chime in with something I'm missing.
Thanks for trying.
Regards,
Richard
