Since Smuxi 1.0, single application instance is supported and this issues no longer applies to it.

This is all good and nice as long as the application supports single- instance, when not it's a real pain though. Wouldn't it be sufficient to use the source-activiated event for the application itself, or by adding a new dedicated app-activated event. This way the application wouldn't need to deal with IPC at all and just work, I think this would be in the spirit of the new library to make it easy for application developers. Thanks for considering! Besides this, the new lib works great!
