[Geany] Geany_socket listening on tcp, why?

[Paul Bonneau]

Hello, I'm running this version in Puppy Linux 4.3.1:
geany 0.18 (built on Aug 28 2009 with GTK 2.14.7, GLib 2.18.3)

When I start geany, I get this:

# netstat -an|grep -i listen
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     7803 
/tmp/geany_socket.b2c7ccb7
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     5616   /tmp/.X11-unix/X0

Just wondering why it is listening, and how I can shut that off. 
Couldn't find anything in the archives, man pages, FAQ, etc.

Paul
