Thanks for the info I thought Debian testing was a "couple of weeks" behind upstream, but after more than a month I'm still stuck on 18 :( I'll see if I can add Neptune to apt's sources.list to upgrade myself...
The only thing pertaining to kate here is the error/warning messages about the Session entries in org.kde.kate.desktop and the slowness; the rest of it is kbuildsycoca5 spewing error/warning messages about non-compliant .desktop/menu files. Closing this report as worksforme as per comment#1.
