For replacing unique.
Comment 1 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2010-07-01 13:36:38 UTC 
if gtk+ has been initialized by the second instance, we can ask gtk itself for the current screen number and workspace; if gtk+ hasn't been initialized and we don't have a display connection, we can use an environment variable like we do for the desktop file and the pid.

I just ported my app to GtkApplication and also miss those. Ideally, I think the GtkApplication::activated signal should expose these infos are they can be pretty useful.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
