Description:
 Kassie (Kate Advanced Session Selector) is an
applet meant to replace Kate's icon in your Kicker
panel. It has three purposes:

Session Selector

Click on Kassie's icon. The list of the available
sessions (known by Kate) will be displayed in a
popup menu. Select the one you want to open or
access. An already running session is marked with
an icon and a click on it will bring it to the
foreground, including eventually its restauration
and a desktop switch.

Drop Manager

You can drop files on Kassie's icon. A popup menu
will appear to let you choose where these files
will be opened: In one of the running sessions or
in a new one to which you will have to give a
name. This allows to drop files in any Kate's
window, even if it is not visible, either because
it is on another desktop, minimized, or
non-existing yet.

Session Switcher

Click on Kassie's icon while holding Shift,
Control, Alt or Meta. A popup menu listing all
running instances of Kate --if any-- will appear.
It allows you to jump from one session to another.
This will automatically restore the window and
switch the desktop if needed. You can also create
a new named session from this menu.

All three menus contain the entry "Start Kate"
that mimics the behavior of Kate's icon when you
click it or drop files on it, i.e. it creates
sessions without name --displayed as "(Anonymous)"
by Kassie.
