How can I "remind" Kate that I have set
'Window -> Hide Documents'? I've
set it and saved it in the default session, but every time I reopen Kate,
there's that irritating document list.
I searched the forum archive, but though I've seen other folks complain
about the presence of the document list, all of the responses seem
disinclined to provide an actual solution to its presence. :-)

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.
