I agree.

d. Running on a different $DISPLAY.  Look and you'll find no end of

e. Running with different locale settings.  This happens for Gnumeric
when people want different decimal separator for different files.

f. Limiting what documents script see.

Ditto.  Or I'll create an id like gnumeric-$PID

What actual problem was solved by all this infrastructure to keep just
one instance?
