Description Jeremy Nickurak 2012-05-31 15:17:11 UTC 
To duplicate:
1) eog image1.jpg & eog image2.jpg &

Expected behavior:
- 2 eog instances open, once with each image
  -- or --
- 1 eog instance opens, with both images open

Observed behavior:
- 1 eog instance opens, with 1 image open.

Workaround that indicates it's a race condition:


eog image1.jpg & sleep 5 & eog image2.jpg &

Hmm, this will be hard to debug.

    Make sure to only reuse an empty window if it is done initializing
    
    This avoids a race condition when opening images through multiple instances.
    The second instance could then override the already loading (hidden)
    window's image resulting in only one image window showing.
