fully agreed :)
that would help a lot with vim and probably other editors

I have an idea to do this, but I'm not sure if it will work or not. So I
have to test first.
That would allow us to have only one Vim process and to use Vim buffers
directly. I'm just not sure if the kparts ktexteditor will make it work
(using the same widget for all views for example) ;)

I don't use processes like it was before, this is quite strange you have
such a thing, I tested starting and closing vim windows really hard and I
haven't encountered this bug before commiting the kpart on CVS. I have
an old gideon, I need to update it, I'll test again ...
