Re: One instance with a twist

Yeah I've already searched a bit about dbus, and I found out, Murray isn't really developing the C++/Glibmm bindings for dbus.

I probably need to use the C version though.

Thanks anyway :)

You'd have to do some sort of inter-process communication.  One
potential solution may be to use the 'Unique' library
(http://log.emmanuelebassi.net/archives/2007/07/take-it-or-leave-it/ ).
Otherwise you'll probably want to look into dbus or somethign
similar.  I don't have any more detailed advice.
