Comment 2 for bug 1471413

Hello and sorry for the delay,

Yes, the dock allows using multiple instances because maybe you want to have multiple docks with different settings. But for that, you have to force the dock loading the configuration from another directory by using the '-d' option.

Maybe the dock should check if it's not already launched with the same settings. But it can lead to other problem: what if the dock wrongly detect that it's already launched?
