Description
On Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit
This problem has existed for some time, but I didn't notice because I was using a workaround (telling Deluge to watch a directory and having Firefox download to that directory rather than having Firefox launch Deluge.)
If I launch deluge through GNOME, and I try to launch deluge again through GNOME (by clicking an icon in the panel, through a menu, through alt-F2, etc.) then Deluge behaves properly. It sees that an instance of deluge already exists and won't launch another instance.
However, if I launch deluge through Firefox or through gnome-terminal, Deluge fails to see that an instance already exists and launches a duplicate instance.
I don't think this should happen ;p
