It is not avaible because we use a sets of flags for the Scratch application class. Using them is better for the handleing of opened file. So for now this bug will not be fixed...

FYI,i noticed gedit now doesn't allow multiple instances anymore,if you open a new window it simply opens a new tab in the already open instance..

In gedit version 3.4.1, you can drag a tab outside of the window and thus create a new window containing only that tab. (Just an FYI)

It should be possible to have multiple text files placed next to eachother on a monitor, Either by implementing splitted windows or (IMHO preferably) by supporting multiple instance of scratch to be run at the same time.

The attached branch is ready for a test run if anyone wants to try it out.
What's left to do is to make the plugins work with multiple windows. As long as no plugins are used, it should work just fine.
