Unfortunately, the Unity wiki page does not share to much information
about various Unity components and I am not sure which part is exactly
the "Launcher"

>From the point of view of this bug, i guess that the "Launcher" is the
left side imitation of Mac OS X Dock.

If I click the Ubuntu logo, and then I type "terminal" in the search
field .... and then I wait 30 second... I can click on the 'Terminal'
icon and it will open a new terminal each time I click it. First I was
thinking that this is "The launcher"

The always visible, left side launcher, looks to me much more than a
launcher since it is also a task manager, trash manager and volume
manager.

----------

Getting back to the bug report.

Since the always visible, left side toolbar is somehow following the Mac
OS X Dock behavior, I was thinking that maybe applications could provide
a hint whether they are single or multiple instances. A right click on
the "the launcher" will show a "New instance" option in the menu.

For example having multiple instances of "Ubuntu software center" is not of 
much use and could only confuse the users. 
I can also think of Empathy as only requiring a single instance.

-------

Btw. Unity is much more usable than Gnone-shell... keep up the good work
:)
