If I right click on an "image file" in caja, select "open with", then "gthumb" :
In Linux Mint 13 Mate 32-bit I could open/launch multiple instances of gthumb from caja
In Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit I can only launch a single instance of gthumb - it seems to start, then nothing
In Linux Mint 17 Mate 32-bit I found I could open multiple instances of gthumb only from the gthumb file menu, select "New WIndow".
Worked in 13, not in 17 - could not find a preference (like I describe below for a similar problem with VLC Player) to solve this problem.

Note: found a similar problem with VLC Player, but it turned out a
difference in default preference setting in VLC from 13 to 17, making
that VLC preference change (preferences/interface settings/playlist and
instances/use only one instance when stated from file manager) solved
the problem.
