Description
When we click on the Adept icon in the KDE panel, the second copy of Adept prints an error and refuses to start.
We could put wrappers around such programs so that when we select them they bring the existing process to the foreground rather than try to create a new one (and fail). This can be done fairly simply with wmctrl using a command like:
wmctrl -R "Adept" || adept.

It would make users think "Oh no, I broke it again!" less often.
