I just had an idea - it could be a useful kate feature anyway! On screen display just \
like thunderbird.

1[ ] ignore external changes on log out / shut down
2[ ] use on-screen display to show external changes on log out / shut down
The second option would only be enabled if the first one was checked, just like \
thunderbird, indicating what files are being ignored.

* reloading the document would be pointless - the user is logging out; kate is about \
                to exit
* overwriting the document without notifying the user could be potentially disastrous
* ignoring the file change modifications is what the check box is for


Or as an alternative / addition?
3[ ] use on-screen display to show external changes
Might be useful anyway?

The user could click on the on-screen display before it disappeared, blocking \
logout/shutdown. My aim would be to change kate from being blocking to being \
non-blocking wrt logout/shutdown.
