I have written a patch that will enable you to only use a single kate window. It is controlled by a kate kconfig option and can be changed under kate's general settings tab.
Looks like the new option is placed in $TDEHOME/share/config/katerc [General] UseInstance=0/1?
I see the check box in your patch, but I haven't yet tried to build.
Something else that might be interesting to add is an override flag that, if passed to Kate, launches in the desired instance mode. For example --sdi or --mdi.

That is a very good point. I will add a --sdi flag then.
what happens when a user does -u with this patch? nothing at all.
there is an if statement that states something like this: if MDI enabled or -U option then open in the current instance.
I would like someone to test it as well, but I will make modifications and add it to the bug tracker
Added a flag -f or --force-sdi which works. if -u or the MDI is enabled via kconfig, they will be overridden by this flag.
I will upload it to the tracker.
