curious error on exiting Kate

Whenever I end a Kate session I get a curious error dialog in a small window
after Kate has closed which states:

KDEinit could not launch '/usr/bin/kate/'

It happens after the program has successfully launched, been used, and has
been closed -- it happens each and every time I run it. I've found a few
google references to it, but none seem germane, including one bug report.
Anyone know what this is about?

The command in the icon settings application field was 'kate %U'
Removing the '%U' solved the problem
I can't find any info on what '%U' does, but Kate runs fine without it. Anyone
know?

I don't know for sure, but maybe it's a parameter representing the file
you clicked to open kate? I mean, try to open kate by clicking a text
file in dolphin. Is Kate opened with the file loaded or with no file
loaded, after you removed the %U?
