Description Rashmi Agrawal 2002-06-17 07:09:29 UTC

Application->desktop preferences->"all capplets" when started twice create
2 instance of each. I think there should only be one instance of the widget
and when clicking second time it should just highlight the already running
capplet.

For example 

1. clicking Application->desktop preferences->background will open
gnome-background-properties capplet
2. Click Application->desktop preferences->background again and it opens 
gnome-background-properties again.

Isnt the behaviour wrong, I think the first gnome-background-properties
should be high lighted.

I verified this on sun's beta2 build8 dated 27th Aug on solaris,
most of the desktop preference's capplets like font, keyboard, mouse,
menus & tool bar, window focus behavious in same way. Is it a common
behaviour ? Can anyone give ur comments on this?

This is a known limitation.  We'll work up a patch to be smarter at some point,
but it is low priority.
