I am sorry, but the current behavior is defective even if we accept that there
can be only one instance of OOo running at a time. Imagine the following
scenario, which I hope makes clearer what the problem is:
Consider an office in which all office workers connect through thin clients to
a central server. An office worker uses OOo at her desk. Then, without closing
OOo or logging out, she goes into a different office, and logs in there as
well. When she tries to start OOo, nothing happens. As far as she can tell, OOo
doesn't work in the other office. However, when she returns to her office, one
(or more) new OOo windows have mysteriously appeared.
Within the constraint of a single running instance, a correct behavior would be
to display at least a warning saying that OOo is already running in a different
session and cannot be started concurrently in two sessions. A (possibly) better
behavior could be to reuse the already running binary, but connect the new
window to the correct X session. (I don't know if this is technically
possible.) A drawback of the second solution would be that closing OOo in one
session would close it in the other session as well, which would again be
highly non-intuitive.
