Thanks again, Cristoph, it worked!

For posterity, I'll mention a few things:
   * it complained (a warning) about missing the kactivities file--since I 
don't use kactivities I didn't care
   * it gave an error saying that it wouldn't work with my kdelibs5-dev at 
version 4.8.4, but it told me how to force the compile anyway, which I did
   * the only downside of that is that when I look at the version number in 
help, it still reports the same as the original kate on this system, (kate 
3.8.4 on kde 4.8.4)
   * but, I can tell it is a different kate in a few ways, among them, the bug 
that I expected to be fixed has been fixed

Thanks again!
Randy Kramer
