GtkUnique should support multi-head environment; I say "should" because
I cannot test it - so if any has one should download the library and
launch one of the tests and see if it works.

Yelp doesn't have to just complain: it can open a new window and move it
to the right screen/workspace.  That's the point of having a single
instance.
