Excellent! I'll give this a try.

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.
