Description Ken Fallon 2019-12-12 15:36:59 UTC 
SUMMARY

The default behaviour of kate has changed so that it always opens a new session. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create 2 text files x.txt and y.txt
2. open kate using `kate -b x.txt`
3. open kate using `kate -b y.txt`

OBSERVED RESULT
Two different sessions are open. Both report the message "Failed to register /MainApplication on DBus"

EXPECTED RESULT

That both files would be open in the same session.

KDE Frameworks 5.64.0
