Okay, I tried this, but it's not working for me. Here's what I did and what happened:
1) I renamed ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate to ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate~ 2) I started kate (using its icon), then closed it. kate created a new apps directory, with an empty sessions subdirectory. 3) I restarted kate and it still shows the sidebar with the file names. 4) I tried creating and saving a dummy file to make kate create a session, but its sessions subdirectory remains empty. :-(

After a little experimenting I found this workaround:
- Start with pristine kate config dir
cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig}
Open kate with no arguments and close it
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
- Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the
document list.
