#3417: pidgin needs better error message when trying to open a second instance
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: ari | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: pidgin (gtk) | Version: 2.2.0
Keywords: | Pending: 0
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Pidgin currently will not open a second instance of itself by default.
However, if a user runs pidgin while another instance is already running,
there is absolutely no indication of why pidgin exits immediately, even if
run with debugging messages on. The buddy list of the existing instance
doesn't pop up, and there is no message to the console, just an immediate
exit. This is extremely confusing for users who are not used to this
behavior, as it's certainly possible to forget about a backgrounded
instance.
