[Evolution] Bug#386986: evolution: Evolution should not allow more
than one instance - or start a second instance properly

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-1
Severity: normal
If I start a second instance of Evolution (because I don't see the one
already running, forget about it, or I am on another Desktop), the
second Instance starts, but no mails are displayed. On the left side I
see my mailboxes, but the panel that displays the mails stays empty.
Also the cursor stays with the symbol "busy". I can then close the
second instance by clicking the 'X' icon.
But: IMHO evolution should not allow more than one instance to be
started, if the second instance is not working properly. It should
rather "pop-up" the already running instance.
Would be nice to get this fixed :)

PS: I have added a screenshot of how evolution looks if I start a second
instance.
