For anybody interested, the kate focus issue identified in bug report 692 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=692) is solved. Read Comment 14 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=692#c14) for the details.

Although the patch solves the problem for me, I am asking for peer reviews to validate the patch before pushing to GIT.

Add Calvin's patch for enforcing a true MDI mode (same bug report) and kate is a pleasure to use again.

The focus patch is only two lines. Yeah, I'm stunned too. :)
