[ale] Multiple instances of Evolution

[Tim Watts]

You probably just had multiple windows open on the same process.
Evolution does that. Each invocation of 'evolution' will create a new
window if the process is already running.

That /could/ be useful if it allowed you to open it to a particular view
(e.g. calendar). But it doesn't as far as I can see so it seems pretty
pointless to me. I'd call that a bug.
