View Full Version : [ubuntu] single invocation in Unity

Hello all,

In desktop environments of yore such as old KDE of GNOME you could put an application launcher on a panel (say, Xterm) and then every time you click it a new instance would be started. Not so with Unity, it seems, where one invocation is possible - until you quit the application.

Is there any way to make Unity act different with regard to this one?

Thanks.

Boris.

With the gnome terminal you can right click the unity panel icon and select new terminal to open more than on terminal at a time . Xterm and UXterm don't have this option though . Other applications have the open in a new window option when right clicking the launcher icon .
