    Can't Open Multiple windows

    I'm in the habit of listening to internet radio while I do other very important retired old lady stuff (read email, FB posts, & Tweets, foment revolution, & generally waste time). With "Natty", I'm not being allowed to open more than one window. I can listen to progressive radio or tweet the coming revolution, but not both.

    When I try to open a second window, nothing happens.

    Is this something I can overcome (no doubt by doing something correctly for a change) or something I have to live with?

    Thanks, kids.

    Thanks for asking.

    If you mean opening two instance of applications, let say you want to open two windows of "application-x", all you need to do is to middle-click its icon in the launcher or in the dash.

    And if you mean opening two different applications at once, let say you want to open "application-x" and "application-y", you can just simply do the usual clicking just like in windows.

    If opening two different applications cannot be done, I'm pretty sure it's a bug. If that's the case, please report it to https://launchpad.net

    Yeah, if you want to open multiple "instances" of the program then all you have to do is right click it and select open in a new window.
