Puh! You're welcome, but Thanks for the "Thanks" :-)

Well, as said I'm no guru, but so far I know, katerc is Kate only, katepartrc
is also used e.g by Kile, Kwrite and any stuff which based on KTexteditor
What, when, where is something saved/used I can't say ATM. Kate has some more
"config" files, like for session management

I think only when editorconfig is nearby the file you currently edit. So when
some (Code) project have such in their tree it will used. So I understood the
docs.

> it makes kate gui config inapplicable

Yes, I think so too

Yeah, it should somehow clear be shown which config (file) is in use to avoid
these kind of trouble.

Feel free to file a new bug report, and close this one :-)
