This feature is *not* from System.Windows.Forms. This "SingleInstace"
namespace comes from the file attached on the CodeProject link you
sent.

Talking about links, the other two (from mail.gnome.org) does not have
anything to do with a single instance of an application.

You can, yes, implement this using GTK#, or any other toolkit, or no
toolkits at all. You just need to implement some sort of interprocess
comunication. The simplest one .NET, AFAIK, is using a named
System.Threading.Mutex, like the files from the CodeProject article
do.

armas não se embotarão, e os ganhos poderão ser preservados. Essa é a
estratégia para planejar ofensivas."
