Description Deckweiss75 2024-11-20 11:59:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
I want to run two instances of plasma-systemmonitor so that I can see the graphs on one monitor and the list of programms on another monitor. It could be a commandline flag or a desktop right click option, but currently there is no way to circumvent the hardcoded checks for an existing instance.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run plasma-systemmonitor -> new Window opens
2. run plasma-systemmonitor again -> old Window highlights

OBSERVED RESULT
plasma-systemmonitor can not be opened twice

EXPECTED RESULT
plasma-systemmonitor should be able to open twice, ideally through a flag (or desktop file right click option) while keeping the original behaviour of highlighting the already open instance by default.
