Description:
 Kassie (Kate Advanced Session Selector) is an
applet meant to replace Kate's icon in your Kicker
panel. A cut-down version is also available as
KMenu extension. Kassie has two purposes:
 
Session Selector/Switcher
-------------------------
Click on Kassie's icon. A popup menu appears. It
contains the list of the running sessions (if any)
and the list of the available sessions (as
accessible through Kate's Session menu). The list
of Running Sessions allows you to jump from one
session to another. This will automatically
restore the window and switch the desktop if
needed. The list of the available sessions (known
by Kate) allows you to open in a new window one of
the previously saved sessions. You can also create
a new named session from this menu.

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.

Both 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.


Changelog:
 0.3:
- The session selector/switcher is now a single
menu which contains both the running sessions (if
any) and the available sessions. You don't need to
use the keyboard any more.
- A cut-down version without drag and drop
management is now available as KMenu extension.
- Kassie now has its own icon.

0.2:
- First public release
