[kate] can not open 3 files with kate in dolphin

since the upgrade of kate package ( kate 14.12.1-2 and katepart4 4.14.3-2 ) I notice that it's impossible to open 3 files in kate with dolphin ( context menu with a mouse right click "open with kate" ),

dolphin seems frozen until I close kate, and then dolphin displays this error message :

"it's impossible for KDEInit to run /usr/bin/kate"

( in french because I use the french translation of KDE 4 : "il est impossible pour KDEInit de lancer "/usr/bin/kate" )

Steps to reproduce:
- upgrade to kate 14.12.1-2 and katepart4 4.14.3-2
- open dolphin
- with a mouse right click ( contextual menu "open with kate" ) try to open 3 text files from dolphin
- after opening the second text file you will notice that dolphin is frozen, and the only solution to end this freeze situation is to close kate
- after the close of kate you will notice this error message from dolphin :
"it's impossible for KDEInit to run /usr/bin/kate"

I have the same issue (with german language).

But unfortunately I have no idea how to solve the problem ...

Re: [kate] can not open 3 files with kate in dolphin

there is a workaround :

edit the file "/usr/share/applications/org.kde.kate.desktop" by removing the line "X-DBUS-StartupType=Multi"

This is known at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43513 (and upstream).
