Have you ever been bitten by accidentally loading multiple instances of the same application in GNOME? When you click on the launcher of an already-running application in GNOME, it will load up another instance of the same application, instead of switching to the already running one. This can lead to bugs and other unforeseen behaviour, which of course isn't desirable. In GNOME 3, this issue has been resolved.

It's a meh, but what I really want is for them to stop assuming I don't want multiple instances of an application.
It's the #1 reason I avoid Totem. Often I'll have a show or movie paused, and I want to quickly listen/watch to an mp3/video a friend just sent, only to have it load in the same instance as my paused video.
