Hi Lisi!

Yes, that works for *.txt. But it does not change the default text editor. Any 
other unkown file extension opens kate :-(

I was looking for something like "kcontrol -> KDE Components -> Component 
Chooser". There an option "Embedded Texe Editor" exists, but the only 
selectable entry is "Embedded Advanced Text Editor" which results in a call 
to kate. I's Like to change that to kwrite.
