Seconded.
In general, Can I force kate to ONLY use one window?
we need a way to always to it :-)
I presume you can duplicate the problem?
There also is the problem of Kate not correctly grabbing focus (bug report 692).
To me Kate has been broken since moving away from a multiple document interface (MDI) to a single document interface (SDI). I don't know how much work is needed to revert to the older code or whether there is sufficient interest among users to motivate us to investigate.
The MDI to SDI change occurred after 3.4.3. That means 3.5.0 introduced the confounded Kate sessions and the SDI.
I have all of the 3.4.3 code. Reverting back also would mean restoring the simpler and more effective Projects rather than sessions.
Is anybody interested?

I am using Firefox 2.5.24 with Trinity 3.5.12 and Kate will not work at all if I set the editor in the Web Extensions addon using it's options.
I either got an error message saying it will not start or nothing happened if I only used the full path: /opt/kde3/bin/kate.
So, I typed about:config in the address bar and when it's window came up I typed editor in the search bar.
This brought up several options and I changed these options to this configuration:
View_source.editor.args user set string -u
View_source.editor.external user set boolean true
View_source.editor.path user set string /opt/kde3/bin/kate
After doing that Firefox and Kate worked exactly like you want.
I personally don't want to have the web page appear in a kate instance that I am already working in, so after testing I removed the -u
I was like you orginally, in that I did not like sessions either.
Mostly what I did not like was that you had to start out using a session--even if it was only a blank default session--and it always asked you what session you wanted on startup. I didn't want a session, I didn't want to be asked about one, I wanted a blank kate window. Then later, if I wanted to make it a session--I would save it as such.
After a lot of hammering, screaming and kicking I got it to work the way I wanted. Now that sessions work "my way" I use sessions heavily and like them a lot. So please don't make them go away...
