[Bug 173283] Kate (?and Quanta and KDevelop user preferences do no save

[benmoreassynt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kate

At least two Ubuntu users have experienced a bug whereby Kate (and
possibly other text editors) will not save user preferences. In
particular, any attempt to customise code highlighting fails, sessions
are not saved on exit, attempts to customise toolbars fail.

See discussion here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611348

For example, to reproduce problem with text highlighting:

1. Open Kate and open a code file (for example a PHP file)
2. Open Settings/Configure Kate
3. Select Fonts and Colours
4. Select Highlighting Text Styles, and make sure the highlight: dropdown corresponds to the type of code in the file you opened.
5. Make a change to the code highlighting. For instance, in PHP change the color of a function to red.
6. Press apply.
7. Press ok

Result: functions will be highlighted the old way. Returning to settings
will show that the old colour is still there.

That is an example of just one of the bugs. Any other settings changes
also seem not to save - esp customising the toolbars.
