two seperate instances on linux?

[pmonlinux]

I am looking for the ability to run two separate instances of Palemoon on linux.

I know about the no-remote and -new-instance commands. But the problem is that Docky groups both windows into one icon.

What I would love to do is have separate icons within docky.

I've tried creating new .desktop files but that didnt work.

Any advice?

No updates on this? I'm sure this is possible. Somehow.

Is there a setting in Docky to not group windows?

[pmonlinux]

Could it be possible to achieve this if I compile two palemoons, both different from each other?

Wouldn't the kernel see them as two different programs if I did that?

I want all my other windows groups.

See my question above. Could this be a solution?

No -- unless you want to change how the Pale Moon windows identify themselves, which, depending upon how that section has been programmed, may require a good level of involvement, for something that is very trivial at best.

In addition, grouping of windows is not handled by the kernel, but by Docky itself.

I did something similar with palemoon 24 (I needed it for an specific webpage) and 25.
Pretty much I did this with Palemoon 25:
Normal palemoon:
/usr/bin/palemoon (linked to the installed palemoon in opt)
And then for the second instance I did this in the install folder (/opt/palemoon):

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s palemoon palemoon_second
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/palemoon_second /opt/palemoon/palemoon_second

And then duplicated the original .desktop file and added something like this:

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/bin/palemoon_second --profile $HOME/.moonchild\ productions/pale\ moon/second_profile.default --no-remote

It works well with plank and docky but it can't fool xfwm (XFCE).
