Not quite, the post-0.18 versions of geany include a socket-file
option. Personally I prefer one socket per desktop, with the same
configuration directory.

I hope "Save configuration" works for all instances, and not for the
"main" instance only, as someone suggested. With "main", the options
can be saved by "Edit -> Preferences -> OK" anyway, and I would like to
be able to save them from a secondary instance, and run a new Geany
with them.
