Care for some user input on the subject?

I would personally consider the project handling to be seriously
broken if project related files (and maybe even _any_ open file) would
stay open when I close the project.
And the reason is I never close the project manually except for when I
am switching to another project. And in almost every to me imaginable
case, this means I am not interested in the project I just closed
anymore. If I am, I just keep two KDevelops open to display both
projects but in separate windows.

So, just to brainstorm a little: If anything should be configurable
regarding this matter, it is whether open files that _do not_ belong
to the project but are opened anyway (via CTRL+O for example) should
be closed.

Another thought about this is that one might consider closing a
project and opening it again synonymous to restart on a clean slate.
and then it would look wierd if the files are still open.

I believe closing a project without closing its files asks for bug
reports. Both real ones and ones that originate from misunderstanding
the concept.
