Bug#598443: kate: Kate reuses instances even without the -u option.

[Andrew Greenberg <jroo@speakeasy.net>]

Package: kate
Version: 4:4.4.5-1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i upstream


I need to run multiple Kate instances from the command line. I expect
`kate file1` followed by `kate file2` to open two separate kate
instances since those commands NOT include the `-u` flag. However, it
*always* opens up in the already open instance even without that flag.

Perhaps I'm missing something? Or there's some kind of alias somewhere
on my system that replaces `kate` with `kate -u`? I certainly can't find
it, if so.
