X-Ubuntu-Single-Instance=true doesn't work

[Loïc Minier]

Hi,

I tried latest upstart-app-launch with fixed .desktop file parsing with an older music-app which works with --file=file://xyz and --file=xyz; I recommend:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/+archive/daily/+files/music-app_0.6bzr117saucy0_all.deb

then I added X-Ubuntu-Single-Instance=false to its desktop file and it still behaved as expected.

With X-Ubuntu-Single-Instance=true however, it didn't work: the first music file opens fine, the second one stops music playback relatively quickly but music app takes a while to disappear from running app list, and music app doesn't actually open with the file unless I launch it a second time.

Cheers,

.cache/upstart/application.log says:
'music-app does not exist in any database for user phablet'
start: Job is already running: application-legacy (music-app-)
stop: Job failed while stopping
'music-app does not exist in any database for user phablet'
application-legacy (music-app-) start/running, process 7430
'music-app does not exist in any database for user phablet'
start: Job is already running: application-legacy (music-app-)
stop: Job failed while stopping
'music-app does not exist in any database for user phablet'

I wonder whether this is because upstart can't kill the SIGSTOPed app correctly.
