I think you mean user ID, not PID.
You mean that Wx's single-instance checking on Unix
is based on the existence of the lock file,
rather than the ability to lock it?
That would be a rather major oversight.

In addition to the issue that Gianfranco brings up, wxSingleInstanceChecker has
a serious bug, at least the Mac version.
This occurs if the lock file is not deleted at BOINC Manager exit, such as
because of a crash. When the system is next booted, the Manager can sometimes
be assigned the same PID as before and wxSingleInstanceChecker erroneously
reports that another instance is already running.
This bug came up a while back on the Mac, and took a lot of work to find. I
added some Mac-only code to work around the bug.
wxWidgets has just three implementations of wxSingleInstanceChecker: for OS2,
UNIX and MSW, so I suspect that Linux uses the same version as the Mac.
However, the appropriate path to pass wxSingleInstanceChecker will be different
for Linux than the Mac.
The relevant code is in BOINCGUIApp.cpp at lines 406-434 and 764-771. In
addition, the Mac installer also deletes the lock file (if it exists) as an
added precaution.

Hi David,
thanks to the Debian Wx maintainer the root cause is in BOINC.
please look at the bug for an explanation and the fix
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=781789
making
wxSingleInstanceChecker
to behave like MACOSX does (maybe just adding a .lock or similar) should fix
the issue.
thanks,
Gianfranco

According to Rom, the file name is based on the app name supplied to WxWidgets,
namely line 206 of BOINCGUIApp.cpp:
SetAppName(wxT("BOINC Manager"));
The functions for reading/writing config info
(like window size and position) are members of the class WxConfigBase.
Wx stores this info in a file on Unix; on Win, it uses the registry.

Hi David, do you know where on the code the file is created?
(I would like to reassign to wx, but I need prior to have a reduced testcase)
thanks!

This config file is create by WxWidgets,
so its lack of leading "." should be considered a WxWidgets bug.

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 7.4.23+dfsg-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
It appears that Boinc Manager drops a configuration file into the home
directory without hiding it:
$ file /home/user/BOINC\ Manager-user
/home/user/BOINC Manager-user: ASCII text, with no line terminators
I think this file should begin with a dot to hide it from display in the home
directory or be
moved to a sub directory in a hidden directory in home.
