KMdiMainFrm, Kate Part and merging menu

Hi,

I'm writing a small application based on KMdiMainFrm and want to include Kate as Mdi-childs. So I've written a class derived from KMdiChildview and composed of a KTextEditor::Document member variable and a Kate::View one. Fine... I can open new documents and every child is a kate view.

Now I want to merge and manage my app-GUI with kate one. So I've written something like this in the constructor:

m_manager = new KParts::PartManager( this );
connect( m_manager, SIGNAL( activePartChanged( KParts::Part * ) ), this,
SLOT( createGUI( KParts::Part * ) ) );

and setXMLFile(...);

Wonderful: when I open a new doc, kate's menu appears and if I have no opened document, I only have my app-menu. Unfortunately, kate commands do not act as expected. For example, copy, cut are always disabled, Find Next or Go to Line do not work, but undo/redo work fine. Secondly: How do I manage the activation of a part, how does my app know on which child the actions have to be applied?

Thanks for help.
