You should try to enable "Include window configuration" setting in Application/Sessions section of Configure dialog, then close sidebar and restart Kate.
I already have that checked :-(
Explicitly: 1. in konqueror, click on a text file; 2. kate opens, with the sidebar; 3. remove sidebar; 4. close kate.
Sometime later... 5. in konqueror, click on a text file; 6. kate opens, with the sidebar;
Attached is the complete katerc configuration file as it currently exists on the system (if the reflector will allow the attachment to appear). Maybe somebody can spot the error.
[Just to be clear: kate generated the file, based on the configuration dialogues; I did not create or edit it manually.]
