[scribus] Multiple instances of Scribus

[Gustavo Homem]

Hi,

Running Jumping late on this thread I'd like to point the fact that when a 
user double clicks a .sla file a new instance of Scribus will allways be 
launched, regardless of whether or not Scribus was already running.

This is, to me, an usability problem and the opposite of what users expect 
from current software.

In this regard I think Scribus should behave as the other common desktop 
aplications where the running instance is reused for when more documents are 
opened (See Adobe Reader, Firefox, Kaffeine, etc).

Best regards
Gustavo
