[u-a-dev] [Bug 85183] Opening 2nd instance of magnifier causes core dump

[Michael Broadbent]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-mag

Using Ubuntu Edgy. When a 2nd instance of magnifier is opened it crashes
with a core dump.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open a terminal type "magnifier"
2) Open a 2nd terminal, type "magnifier"

Expected result:
A second magnifier opens, or a message saying magnifier is already open

Actual Result:
The program crashes with a core dump.

Attached is a proposed patch that will display a message that another
magnifier is already running then close properly.

** Affects: gnome-mag (Ubuntu)
