Is there any way to always automatically use the parameter --no-existing-session
for Totem? I want to use that parameter whenever I double click on anything that will open Totem.
Thanks!
Copy the global totem.desktop file to your local applications
folder:
cp /usr/share/applications/totem.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
Change the line Exec=totem %U
to Exec=totem --no-existing-session %U
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/totem.desktop
Save the file and close it. The change should take effect immediately.
It seems this parameter doesn't work anymore since 11.10, see How can I launch multiple instances of Totem since 11.10?
Be careful when upgrading to *buntu 11.10 if you have your own modified ~/.local/share/applications/totem.desktop because Totem will not open if this parameter is set by default.
