Dukju is right. It is just an unimplemented thing. We want
to close  
all the open files for the project when the project is
closed. It  
wouldn't hurt to make this configurable, but for now, it's
fine the  
way it is

Care for some user input on the subject?

I would personally consider the project handling to be
seriously
broken if project related files (and maybe even _any_ open
file) would
stay open when I close the project.
And the reason is I never close the project manually except
for when I
am switching to another project. And in almost every to me
imaginable
case, this means I am not interested in the project I just
closed
anymore. If I am, I just keep two KDevelops open to display
both
projects but in separate windows.

So, just to brainstorm a little: If anything should be
configurable
regarding this matter, it is whether open files that _do
not_ belong
to the project but are opened anyway (via CTRL+O for
example) should
be closed.

Another thought about this is that one might consider
closing a
project and opening it again synonymous to restart on a
clean slate.
and then it would look wierd if the files are still open.

I believe closing a project without closing its files asks
for bug
reports. Both real ones and ones that originate from
misunderstanding
the concept.
