1) Blindly recreate the Lyx-Pipe
if you are used to launch many instance simultaneously you will never know
who owns pipe.
I conclude from this that some people do frequently run multiple
instances at a time. Then this is not an option.
2) Ask the user
so any new instance means pop up of question mark dialog?
Same as above. If that is what people do, then not an option.
3) Probe if remnant or second instance
may be. depends how you want to do it.
Send a "Hello" into .lyxpipe.in and see if there s response at
.lyxpipe.out. But I do not know to implement that myself. :(
