X11: the session management supports instances.
So who decides who wins?
To answer both a and b, nobody wins. For the preferences and project files, the single instance sm works like hybernate-and-restore: each instance preserves it's own configuration, and neither geany.conf nor the project files are saved.
(For the document files it asks if to save, of course. XSMP suggests that a modified file may be saved into a temporary file, and then reloaded and remarked as modified, but I have yet to see a progam impementing THAT idea.)
It will be fine if Dimitar's implementation is included in trunk. It is more "right" than mine.
Thanks. :)
Moreover, it does not contain so much miscellaneous stuff unrelated to session management.
Actually none. Two extra patches are required, but one of them is shared with the various prefs editor, and the other is a cleanup.
