An easy way to run multiple instances of any program

As a general stance, I would be cautious about using this hint. Multiple running instances of a program may be accessing and modifying the very same configuration files simultaneously, resulting in potential race conditions and file corruption.

Although this may be true for some apps, other apps are perfectly well suited for running as multiple instances. Don't let cautiousness keep you from conveniently running the same copy of an app multiple times.
