There doesn't appear to be an option in Kate to make the old behaviour
default, but you can change the way Konqueror and other KDE applications
call Kate. Go to the Control Centre -> KDE components -> File
associations and select text/plain. Select Kate, press Edit, go to the
Application tab and change the command from "kate %U" to "kate --use %U".
