A Hundred Thousand Thanks, Rick!
Although it hasn't helped me fix the problem (yet), I feel that the info you provided is a certain lead.
Interestingly, though I am still getting the same error report when I run Kate and for that matter when I start KDE, I get the same results that you sent me when I execute the same command.
I'll keep fiddling with it.. :)
Thanks for your help, Ken

I decided to submit this query again. I think that if someone can tell me what there setting is for this mime type, I can re-enter it into my settings.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Recently, when I run several programs, most notably Kate and Kmess, I receive an error message - "can't find mime type: application/octet-stream".
I have no idea how I might have deleted such a file or association setting. How do I restablish this mime type?
Check here Kenneth:
$> cat /etc/mime.types |grep -i octet-stream application/octet-stream bin dms lha lzh exe class
