Re: duplicate gmc bug

[Ryan Leduc <leduc control toronto edu>]

I once had 5 different instances of gmc running..  
If you looked in ~/gmc file, is started 5 distinct gmc..

Gnome was REALLY  slow  ;-)

The way they were started was by dragging gmc to the dock on window
maker
and set it to auto start..  ( I had to do this because I couldn't get
gmc to respawn after it crashed, so I had to force one to start..  )

gnome-session starts it's own , and the dock starts one..
Then when I exit X, gnome-session notes to start two next time..

repeat, and you have 3..
