It's a bug in kate actually. Normally KUniqueApplication::newInstance() gets 
called and only when this function returns does the process that was started 
return. Kate should load the files passed on the command line in 
newInstance(). But it delays the call to newInstance to later, which breaks 
things.

It would probably work if Kate would delay the call to newInstance by using:
	kapp->dcopClient()->suspend(); // Don't handle DCOP requests yet
and
	kapp->dcopClient()->resume(); // Ok. We are ready for DCOP requests.
as done by KMail.

That should replace m_noEventLoop.

Patch attached, seems to work just fine.

Cheers,
Waldo
