[tde-users] Kate configuration

I have a simple mind, so I have an equally simple requirement for Kate... when I click on a text file in konqueror, I want kate to open with only one pane: the edit pane showing the contents of the file on which I clicked. I am sure it used to work exactly this way, but somehow it seems that my configuration now is wrong: what happens now when kate opens is that there is an extra pane on the left hand side, containing the names of several recently-edited files. I suspect, given the amount of time that kate is now taking to open, that kate is actually reading those files into memory. I don't want any of that to happen: I want just a clean view of the contents of the file I want to edit. I'm sure it's a simple thing to fix, but I've wasted a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out, without success, how to change the configuration so that kate doesn't occupy screen space with a list of recently-edited files. So if someone can give me the magic configuration item(s) to change, I would very much appreciate it. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
