the error message:
The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly
what it should say (at least in my case)
The process has insufficient permissions to write to various files in your home
directory
I got the error after installing kate on ubuntu on xp hosted vmware. careful
use of chmod resolved the problem completely.
First off, I did a recursive chmod ( chmod -R 0777 ) from the home directory,
which totally screwed the install, so you do not want to do that. With trial
and error, I got it working trouble free for 2 months now. Here's a sample of
before and after perms but there were quite a few more root only access dirs
and files that had to be relaxed.
