Tux Paint won't run
-------------------
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.
A lockfile ("~/.tuxpaint/lockfile.dat" on Linux and Unix,
"userdata\lockfile.dat" on Windows) is used to make sure Tux Paint
isn't run too many times at once (e.g., due to a child impatiently
clicking its icon more than once).
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.
If multiple users are sharing the directory where this file is stored
(e.g., on a shared network drive), then you'll need to disable this
feature.
To disable the lockfile, add the "--nolockfile" argument to Tux Paint's
command-line.
