Kate has it's own implementation of MDI called KateMDI, IIRC this was
introduced in kde3.5.

That is kdelibs code, it hasn't been maintained for quite a while -
AFAIK and from what I heard is "not nice to read". Good luck at finding
and fixing the bugs without opening new ones.

Also note: KMdi is only useful for KDE3 apps, KDE4 doesn't include kmdi.
And finally: KDevelop3.4 is not affected by this in its default
installation because it uses the simple-ideal mode which doesn't depend
on kmdi. This mode is already available in kdevelop3.3, however ideal is
still the default because simple-ideal was pretty new when 3.3 was
released. So changing from ideal to simple-ideal might solve your
problem.
