Hi list,

suppose I have already one instance of an application running, and
I want t start another instance but with different environment

You didn't read the first and second lines.

You said "an application". You didn't tell us that you are talking about Mozilla. So this is a Mozilla problem and not related to KDE in any way. But anyway...


I mean: I have my environment variables set to chinese and have a chinese mozilla running. Now I open a terminal, change the environment to japanese and start another mozilla instance from there. Because I have already one running with chinese environment, the second instance will inherit the environment from the first one and doesn't care about my japanese definition. But I want to have to seperate instances of mozilla, one with chinese, one with japanese als environment settings.
[...]

Mozilla can only be launched once from the same installation directory. You probably use a script that tells the running instance to just open a new window, i.e. Mozilla is still running in the same environment as the already running instance and you just open a new window.

To have two Mozilla instances running with different environments you need two installations of Mozilla, e.g. install one Mozilla into /opt/mozilla1 and the second into /opt/mozilla2.

Then launch mozilla from the /opt/mozilla1 directory with the Chinese environment and after that launch mozilla from the /opt/mozilla2/directory with the Japanese environment.
