There seems to be something strange about kate's handling of default session
indeed. When you start kate with a pristine config dir it opens with new
session and side bar and document list shown. Kate does not seem to save the
settings for the default session, as you said. I tried and it didn't.
But with other sessions I created myself it works. I set option "save session"
on exit and when I open the session next time the document list is not shown
like I wanted.
Unfortunately I do nowhere see an option to set default session. However, it
appeared once, in an opening dialog to choose the session to open and there was
an switch to let kate always open that chosen session when starting. But I
can't reproduce that.
Default session seems to be "hardwired" and when you open kate with "new
session" it opens that one anyways. But you can save your own empty session
(without showing document list) and let kate choose that one instead when
starting.
After a little experimenting I found this workaround:
1) Start with pristine kate config dir
cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig}
2) Open kate with no arguments and close it
3) Open ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions/default.session with an editor and
change these options to "false" and save file.
Kate-MDI-Sidebar-Visible=false
Kate-MDI-ToolView-kate_filelist-Visible=false
4) Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the document
list.
