Bug#377236: kate: treats non-unique paths as unique files

[Brian Sipos <bjs5075@rit.edu>]

Package: kate
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: normal

The file loading will treat semantically-identical but string-differing 
paths as unique files. For example:
	/path/to/file
	/path/to//file
are treated as two different files, even though they really aren't.

This causes problems when using the internal file-searching tool when 
the "Folder" entry contains a trailing slash. The file-opening code 
should probably trim out unnecessary path elements before checking that 
the file isn't already open.
