The last time I did any low level coding the 8085 was state of the art ;/ The key question is likely just what defines "a new instance". IIRC there were no open caja "windows". Could be mistaken.
It won't affect any
caja instances already running at the time you installed caja-gksu. Next time you install Debian, you could test examples of each type of instance, before and after, to establish the presence of any bug.
Your timing is exquisite. I just solved a problem whose repercussions added much cuff to my install before I got it right. I was planning an install from scratch by the weekend. Due to previous install experiments, I've a customized preseed.cfg that makes test installs trivial.
I found no indication either way in a web search.I don't think one would expect to, unless you searched for "ldconfig". Caja is just one program among thousands that would be expected to behave in the same way. Try: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
Looks like I'm out of mischief for the weekend. Thanks
Cheers, David.
