FWIW, firefox does this occasionally too. A "killall firefox" usually |

does the trick. |

But with firefox, it at least pops up a little dialog telling you that it |
22 |
believes another instance is running. It'd be a bit confusing without |
23 |
that. Even if it's sometimes frustrating seeing the dialog, it's better |
24 |
than not knowing the problem, I guess. |
