you can avoid having to run one proc/document by making the app only a
shell around the actual useful component, and then only a single OAF
factory is running for all your documents.
of course this should also be combined with having a thin launcher app as
well that does nothing but instructs the shell factory to create a new
shell (because with the current MDI setup, when an instance of an MDI app
is running and I start it again from the command line, a new instance is
run instead of instructing the running instance to create a new document
interface)
