162150 - Can't launch phoenix while Mozilla is running (or vice versa)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

Since phoenix and mozilla both use the same application name in splash.rc, it's
not possible to run one while the other is already running, since it just causes
the already-running instance to pop up a new window.

Just as an addendum: we should really create an easy way to fork this file and
link an application, without having to link individual object files from
xpfe/bootstrap or fork xpfe/bootstrap (perhaps a static library?).

I still can't launch mozilla (pref set to start mailnews) 
while phoenix is running.

(linux, mozilla-1.1, phoenix 20020907)

I have no problems launching phoenix while mozilla is running with todays
phoenix and seamonkey builds. I also have no problem launching mozilla while
phoenix is running. I tried launching mozilla -mail while phoenix was running
and it launched just fine. Tested Phoenix from tonight on win2K and rh null. 

Verified.

Hmm. That's interesting. 

Maybe I need to blow away both my ~/.phoenix and ~/.mozilla and start from
scratch. Will try.

A)   1.mozilla  2. phoenix.  Okay.
B)   1.phoenix  2. mozilla --mail.  Okay.
C)   1.phoenix. 2. mozilla.  Mozilla launches as Phoenix.
