While trying to implement this test script, I noticed I had two entries for .arw in the file associations found in kcontrol. One (image/x-raw), to which I think I remember adding the .arw extension. The other is image/x-sony-raw. The list of applications is different and also the way gimp is called of those options is different. I also think I remember adding the image/x-sony-raw type (in an attempt to get digikam to list applications for the .arw raw format).

In the image/x-raw type, gimp is called as "gimp", the other image/x-sony-raw is using gimp-remote. If both associations are followed and called, it would explain the double instance of the gimp, due to one of them calling gimp, instead of gimp-remote. I don't think this can be a bug of gimp-remote, since I usually use that to open files with the gimp and only digikam shows this behaviour. I suspect it may be a strange interaction between digikam and the kde file associations, of which I understand very little...

I hope this helps (I assume the test-script is no longer necessary, since this appears to be a much saner explanation than a weird double execute in gimp-remote ;-)

Cheers
