Hi,

I asked about this a while back, but got no answer. Maybe someone
now knows why Blackbox allows several instanses of Opera (the web
browser) as long as each instance is opened on different desktops? 

For instance, if I click on a link in my mailer an Opera instance is
opened even though another instance of Opera is running on another
desktop. In other WM's a click on an e-mail link switches to the
desktop where Opera is already running opening a window with the
link content, while in Blackbox one is opened on the current
desktop.

I know for a fact that Opera is not designed to allow several
instances of itself. So why is Blackbox allowing it for this
application while other WM's I have tried this on (KDE, Gnome, IceWM
and XFce) don't?

TIA
