If Tux Paint aborts with the message: "You're already running a copy of Tux Paint!", this means it has been launched in the last 30 seconds. (On Unix/Linux, this message would appear in a terminal console if you ran Tux Paint from a command-line. On Windows, this message would appear in a file named "<code>stdout.txt</code>" in the same folder where <code>TuxPaint.exe</code> resides (e.g., in <nobr>"<code style='background: #EEE;'>C:\Program Files\TuxPaint\</code>"</nobr>). </p>

Even if the lockfile exists, it contains the 'time' Tux Paint was last run. If it's been more than 30 seconds, Tux Paint should run fine, and simply update the lockfile with the current time. </p>
