@Franz Fellner:

Yes, it happens very often that one needs to see two documents side by side. But my basic idea is that there are MANY single-document PDF viewers out there, but when I started to search for a viewer which would open many documents in one window, qpdfview was one of only 2 (the second was apvlv, but I didn't try it) applications that people suggested me on different fora.
So, if somebody needs to view PDF's in separate windows, he has a lot of opportunities, and has only one or two otherwise. So why making qpdfview behave just the same way as all the other viewers do?

Basically, I like the idea with simple adding the "--unique" option to .desktop file. It is very simple and works well for me so far; and I know how to setup qpdfview for any new user.
