VLC Player: 2.1.0
 
STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM

2. From the task launcher/bar, right click on the VLC icon and select "Start New Instance" 

EXPECTED OUTCOME
A second instance of VLC is launched.

ACTUAL OUTCOME
The VLC icon shows a "refresh" animation, but no new instance is launched. 

FREQUENCY OF OCCURENCE:

COMMENT:
A second instance can be launched via the console: 
"VLC media player 2.1.0 Rincewind (revision 2.1.0-0-gedd8835)
[0xee9118] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
