Ideally switching area would cause no flickering.

A good solution would be making area-switching faster. But this will always 
stay slow, as opening the first tab means loading the kate editor-component 
and the C++ language support.

Even after switching areas, a document should be focused, so this would be one 
more opportunity to fix 2 problems with 1 patch. :)

That's true. However it's not possible to delete an area in KDevelop, so it's 
not an issue atm. Although it would be cleaner if there always was a 'blank' 
area for such switches available.
