I am seeing this behavior when launching the second (and all subsequent files) in kate, from both Dolphin and Konqueror.
My setup: Kubuntu 8.10 KDE 4.2 from kubuntu-experimental PPA.
Using Dolphin or Konqueror open text file with kate.
--> works fine
Leaving Kate open, open second text file from Dolphin or Konqueror.
--> Receive error "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate'.
--> But the file opens as expected (as second open document in kate)
