SUMMARY Currently there's only an action to open a "new synchronized window" but no action to open a new empty window.. To do this, I have to launch a new instance of the application from Kickoff (or any other way), which is quite inconvenient. There's also an unused `Ctrl+Shift+N` shortcut that can be bound to this action.

We have that now, at least in large parts. The tabs are no longer synchronized, you get a welcome page (or if set in the config, a new untitled document). The plugins still show e.g. the documents of all main windows, but that can be improved later, if patches are there. Is this good enough?
Sure.
Ok, then let's marked this as fixed ATM. I think for the most uses cases, "New Window" does now behave as wanted. Thanks for the idea, the old behavior was really not that usable. At lot more important to have this right now that the code is shared with KWrite. There no plugins are loaded at all and it behaves already now not that bad.
