Gnome 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.

Yeah, "window" is the right term here, my original post was incorrect.

I changed it in the article here too. Just wanted to use the terms you used to make sure no misunderstandings happened. Task-based indeed sounded odd to me, but I figured it could've been that GNOME used a different convention or something ;) .
