[KDE/Mac] Kate's status on OSX?

[Nicolas Bigaouette]

Salut René,

Thanks for the reply! I need Kate in a spoiled way; I think it offers the
best compromise between ease of use and power. The other one I miss is
dolphin...

In any case, do you know if the problem lies with the frameworks or the
applications? Or even in Qt? Any links or bugs you can point me to for the
effort to fix these issues?

Thanks!

Nicolas
