Yes, but I am sure this can cause a lot of confusion too...
I am not sure why this would cause confusion. You could have a dialog
box warning that "Another LyX window has this file open" and offer
some of the following alternatives:
* Do not open.
fine
* Open read only.
fine
* Open anyway.
fine, assume the user sorts it out after being warned
* Attempt to kill other LyX window.
How? Killing the process is no good, that process may have
several unsaved documents open. And it might belong
to another user anyway.
