Well, I suppose on reflection there is no such thing in TDE. :) I place a few panel buttons on the far left side, adjacent to the T-Menu button. My Task bar is to the right of those buttons. In some systems that area is called a quick launch bar.

So just add buttons to your panel and you'll have the same effect. But you can start kate using krunner using kate --use. The real point of the bug report is that once kate is open, double-clicking on text files from within konqueror does not bring kate forward and kate does not grab the focus.
