Description Jani Uusitalo 2010-06-18 10:45:03 UTC 
--no-existing-session is is a handy little parameter, as documented by --help:

jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C totem --help | grep no-existing
  --no-existing-session             Don't connect to an already-running instance

Totem's man page however fails to mention --no-existing-session altogether.

jani@saegusa:~$ man -P cat totem | grep no-existing
jani@saegusa:~$

The --no-existing-session parameter no longer exists (since we switched to GtkApplication), but I've updated the man page with the --mute option, since that was missing.
