What happens is that digikam gets incredibly slow. But it works. There 
are situations that I like to have two instances, one on each screen, 
for easy comparing for example. But a lot of changes (moving files etc.) 
make it really VERY slow...

Sometimes digikam doesn't shut down when I close the window, and when I 
reopen it clicking the desktop icon, I realize how slow it is, check the 
processes and see that there are more digikam processes, which I then 
kill...

I do not often log out or reboot, but sometimes it happens that after 
reboot two or even three digikams open, although I have closed all 
windows before shutting down...

I think this is a known bug (?).

Daniel
