As I implied in my comment on another message, my use case was to have the filemanager programmed to start a new instance if I double click to look at a file so it doesn't interfere with my "main" instance. I know the socket system was intended to cause exactly the opposite but I've always been a contrary sorta person ;-)
It seems to me that there should be some way (maybe specific to a particular filemanager) to define command-line arguments for a command used to open files. Thus, you can set "geany -i" instead of "geany". The only problem is to discover that way (after you know it indeed exists).
