------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Oct 3 12:10:55 -0700 2005 ------- This issue is manifested when OpenOffice is used on a computer with more than one X11 display. It can easily be seen by using VNC to create an additional X11 display. The general problem is that the user is unable to launch two instances of OpenOffice, one on each X11 display. Instead, the program opens a new window in the existing process. It seems like the running instance detection algorithm is using only the username to find the current instance. Instead, the instance should be tied to both the username and X11 display. Here are the steps to reproduce this problem: 1) Launch a VNC server with an Xterm 2) Connect to it using a VNC client 3) Using the VNC xterm, launch oowriter 4) Go outside the VNC client to a normal Xterm 5) Launch oowriter At this point, OpenOffice detects that there is an instance running under the same username and launches another oowriter inside the VNC server. This is not the desired behavior, since the user may have wanted to have instances both inside and outside the VNC server. I have not had a chance to look at the startup code, but I would suspect that it is a relatively straightforward change to have OpenOffice look at both username and $DISPLAY to determine whether or not to open a new instance. The issue is present in both the 1.x and 2.x series. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
