Actually, I think that purely mono-window applications should prevent
the launch of a new window themselves. That's what transmission-gtk or
rhythmbox do for example when you try to launch it while it is currently
running. The only problem with that is that they only prevent a new
window from being created but they don't present their main window.
Maybe that's just not feasible on the application level.
