@gilles: Kmail is a unique app.  So kdecore makes sure no second instance is
started.

Two use cases:

1) click the digikam icon in kicker or plasma-panel.  Action: digikam is
started if not already running _or_ jumps to the workspace with a running
digikam and brings it to the front of all windows.

2) camera in plugined and digikam selected as tool of choice: Action: digikam
is started and download dialog is opened  _or_ jumps to the workspace with a
running digikam and brings it to the front of all windows and opens the
download dialog.

Usecase 2 is currently partially implemented with the helper script
hotplug/digikam-camera.  But if digikam is running in a different workspace
one never sees that the download dialog was opened :(

P.S: @Andi: never had a usecase to run 2 digikam apps, so unique app would be
fine with me ;)
