I would love to fix it, but I'm don't know if I'm expert enough with Qt 
obscurities to do it. I would really like to get rid of the tabs with the 
source filenames, because that metaphor just doesn't work with the horizontal 
split view. Unless we added another row of tabs just above the splitter which 
would look awful. Kate seems to have a working ideal mode with no daft tabs, 
and split views working - would it be possible to use their code for the 3.4 
release?
