Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

This is a defect, because I access more than once to the application, accessing from the panel; system>> gnome-screensaver
And if I do it once again opens another application again and again.

If I get 2 times 2 equals windows of the same application at the same time

It should send a message that the application is running or simply not allow launch the application

Hi,

Your problem is that if you open gnome-screensaver twice you
get two windows for it?

Thanks,

James

Can be opened as often as run times, without closing the application

Hi,

This is indeed possible.

I personally think that it is not a problem, and would
be low priority anyway, as the only downside is
duplicate windows, unless there is a problem with this
that I do not see.

Thanks,

James

I still think that is a defect, and I agree that should be a low priority because it does not affect the operation of the application, but should not be overlooked, and there are applications that are unnecessary keep open 2 times as gnome-screensaver.
I think that it should not be possible. For a topic of usability and control to the user of the application
