Single instance doesn't happen if no file arguments are passed.  Not using `-i` is not enough.

Maybe we can use some window-searching hacks to do that, like using a shell script and `wmctrl`, but it would better if we incorporate it to Geany itself since Geany already has the mechanism and it's simpler and more reliable that way.  Also, not all desktops can support the feature e.g. most X-based desktops.
