Description draymond 2017-02-23 04:50:23 UTC 
When I launch my application from the command line I am getting a new window and new process every time.  I am using GtkApplication and the expected behavior is for new processes to send an "open" or "activate" to the existing process and then exit.  It doesn't look like single instance is implemented on quartz.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2017-02-23 18:14:44 UTC 
you need to run a session bus, I think
Comment 2 draymond 2017-02-24 05:32:12 UTC 
Can we get this integrated into GTK like it is on Windows?
