Comment (by sadrul):

 Somewhat related to this problem: I have added a dbus script
 libpurple/plugins/startup.py, which can help make sure that two purple-
 clients don't run at the same time with the same home directory.

 The syntax is: "startup.py pidgin", or "startup.py pidgin -c /tmp" etc.

 If another client is running with the same home directory, then it will
 just show the buddylist, print an error message and not start.

 The problem with this is, of course, because we can't communicate with
 more than one dbus-thingy (apparently), if we run a third client with the
 same home directory as the second one, this will not help.
