Public bug reported:
Tested in Ubuntu 9.10.
Steps to reproduce the problem
1. Select multiple .mp3 files in Nautilus file manager
2. Select "Open with Exaile Music Player"
3. Now every .mp3 file is opened in a Exaile player instance of its own.
If this is done with lots of files, it consumes all memory and
effectively renders the window manager unusable.
I also tested this scenario with Banshee etc. and they open multiple
files in one player instance, which is IMO the expected behaviour.
