Bug Description

I'm using netbook-launcher-efl instead of netbook-launcher. But when I click on the Go Home Applet, instead of focusing the runnding netbook-launcher-efl, it starts an instance of netbook-launcher. The applet should check if netbook-launcher-efl or netbook-launcher is running and start the corresponding one, not always netbook-launcher.

I have the same problem. After boot if I click on go-home, it launch a netbook-launcher :
$ ps -ef | grep netbo
ben 1296 1227 1 10:45 ? 00:00:05 netbook-launcher-efl
ben 1595 1 0 10:46 ? 00:00:01 netbook-launcher --show-favorites

A very ugly workaround I do, is to create a symbolic link from netbook-launcher to netbook-launcher-efl :
ben@eeepc:/usr/bin$ cd /usr/bin/
ben@eeepc:/usr/bin$ sudo mv netbook-launcher netbook-launcher-3D
ben@eeepc:/usr/bin$ sudo ln -s netbook-launcher-efl netbook-launcher
ben@eeepc:/usr/bin$ ll netb*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-05-02 10:59 netbook-launcher -> netbook-launcher-efl*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 134652 2010-04-13 10:43 netbook-launcher-3D*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 150564 2010-04-26 14:10 netbook-launcher-efl*

I do not have netbook-launcher-3D and without manually doing the symlink netbook-launcher -> netbook-launcher-efl nothing happens at all if I click the button.
