1. One reason why apps have two Configure... entries is because the developers 
didn't know how to get it all into one dialog

2. Kate is an editor. So seeing the two entries
Configure Kate...
Configure Editor...
is just like looking at
Configure...
Configure...
for everybody that is not familiar with components. Sure as somebody who knows 
that kate has a KPart and a shell I can make a good guess where to look, but 
even then I can't really know if it's a feature of the editor part or the 
shell that I want to change.

IMHO all configuration pages need to be in one dialog. If the dialog gets 
bigger than a few pages it should have some kind of search functionality.
