Description Andreas Moog 2008-09-02 23:01:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Original Reporter: Endolith

I don't think it should be possible to open up two simultaneous instances of gnome-appearance-properties.

It is possible now (by using right click --> Change Desktop Background), though the second instance that opens does not seem to behave correctly, and shows two colors for the desktop, while nothing is selected, and does not update as the first instance is changed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-Click and Select Change Desktop Background
2. Do another Right-Click and select the option again

Actual results:
2 Instances of the Dialog appear onscreen

Expected results:
The one first opened should be reused

Does this happen every time?
Yes
