Description Kees van Wijk 2004-02-28 00:22:59 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Many kde applications startup only one instance, Examples are juk or kmail. 
So the effect of starting a second juk or kmail by typing into a konsole kmail or juk is only (as far as I, the user, see) to raise the existing instance. Probably through something like 
"dcop kmail kmail-mainwindow restore" 
This is a very nice feature but it is missing from kopete. 

When I type "kopete" in my terminal while there is already one instance running that instance should by restored (raised).

Groeten,
Kees
