Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-25 14:51:23 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/system-tools-backends/+bug/32686

"WISHLIST: A user can open multiple copies of the "network settings" tool. This should probably be made "single-instance" to reduce confusion. (eg: if they launch the tool while one is already active, it should bring the existing one to the foreground and exit)."
Comment 1 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2009-08-31 14:42:55 UTC 
This is true for all tools actually. They can be run by several users at the same time, though that's not really recommended; but one user should not run several instances at the same time. Should be easy to do using libunique.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2012-11-24 20:29:04 UTC 
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings".

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
