This is subject 196 in the comp.windows.x FAQ. My web site has
pointers to this and other X-related FAQs.

You know how some applications will pop up the currrently running

version when you try to bring up the application a second time rather
than starting two copies. How do

they do that. I know how to "kill pid" but not how to "popup pid."
