Or autosaving of a document opened in another window preventing you from
working on the current document...

Yes, threads, blah blah blah. But with the current code there are obvious advantages
in keeping processes separated. At least being able to do that; since it's also possible
to open multiple documents in the same process. KUniqueApplication would prevent
that completely, which seems very unflexible to me. If you really want a way to
open a document into an existing process "from the outside", a solution like kfmclient
might be a better solution; with konq there is a choice between process separation
and process reuse, whereas with KUniqueApplication there isn't - it's really only for
those apps where process separation is completely out of the question (e.g. kmail).
