Trying to use break point in Kate Text Editor

[Kåre Särs]

Hello again

I got the debugger working locally by deleting the debugger target, restarting 
Kate and recreating the debug target. It seems like semi-recent changes have 
broken the reading of old configurations.

Remember that you also need to "start" the debug session before you can set 
breakpoints.

Regards,
  Kåre
