This affects me in not being able to open multiple instances of pd- extended on a netbook. The programs I'm running are very processor intensive and need to take better advantage of the multiple cpu cores. If I run them in a single instance of pure data it's unbelievably laggy, whereas if they

Middle-clicking is impractical with netbooks, and this functionality is important enough for simple users that it should be provided by the base launcher, with no need to tweak desktop files or search for the app from the Dash. Docky does have it, by the way. -- You received this bug

It is also now very fast to open a known application from the dash, and quicklists can easily be added to desktop files. For example, Firefox now how as a quicklist to open a new window. I consider the issue to be quite well addressed. Thank you to all who worked on it. -- You received this bug
