Some issues with project plugin ?

Hi,

are there any known issues with the project plugin ?
I haven't investigated yet, but here is what I see:
it looks like, that even though in the .kateproject file, the "files" entry is 
not empty, but contains a long list of files, kate doesn't seem to know about 
any files in that project. Is it possible that the "list" mode is broken ?

Second, on another (kubuntu system), it seems kate somehow does not find the 
.kateproject file, or ignores it. Are there any know circumstances under which 
kate does not search the parent directories for the project files and opens 
them ?

I'll start investigating, but I wanted to ask first since it might speed things 
up :-)

Thanks
Alex
