I was personally thinking one per session. My main intention was to hide the window instead of closing it, and have it pop up on whatever screen it was called for. Simplest way would be to make it "sticky", and just use gtk_window_present(). Which just left the one-per-session thing, and finding a way to tell it where to pop up. (gtk_window_present() seems to pop the desktop to the application, rather than the application to the desktop...?) As it is, it's one-per-machine, which is okay because I'm the only one using this machine. But I was rather hoping for a better way. ;) Does, perhaps, Gnome have a solution to this issue? I was thinking of making it a notification area component, which I believe requires Gnome libs anyhow. In which case I'd want it to work within the scope in which the notification area is visible.
