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.)

Thanks. :)

Actually none. Two extra patches are required, but one of them is
shared with the various prefs editor, and the other is a cleanup.
