#32 Cannot run Comix as multiple users concurrently
Comix appears to use the /tmp/comix directory in order to store data for the current user. If another user spawns an instance of comix while the first is still open, then the second will fail to start due to the permissions on /tmp/comix.
I did a little hack to fix it by replacing /tmp/comix with /tmp/comix-<uid> where uid is retrieved by os.getuid().
I discovered this in version 3.6.3, so it may have been fixed by now.
The patch I made to get around this bug.

Thanks for the report and the patch. This issue is fixed in the upcoming Comix 4.0. I will no longer even try to fix things in Comix 3.X, so please be patient until 4.0 is out.
Hi,
this bug is solved as of version 4 of Comix.
