The answer to *that* question, as he wrote, is so that "when you
start a second Gedit process, it opens a new tab in your current
Gedit window instead of creating a new one".
And why should that happen at all ? If I wanted a new tab
in the current Gedit window then I'd use whatever controls
Gedit provides to get one. And to be able to do that Gedit
doesn't need any IPC at all. If I start a new process that
means I want I new window.
Ciao,
Perhaps there's a configuration setting that lets you toggle this? I
really don't know. Under KDE some editors have this behavior on by
default (Kate) while others don't have it at all (Kedit/Kwrite).
But this is besides the point. There's legitimate functionality here
that requires the use of dbus (or something similar). Whether you
personally *like* that functionality is a separate issue.
