I do not like this. I frequently run kwrite, and when I run it while Abi is
open, looking at a C program, the syntax highlighting uses the Courier font
that comes with Abi instead of the usual Courier Bold, and the result is ugly.
If you don't remove the font directories from the font path, kwrite will
continue doing this until I remove them manually.
There must be some way to determine whether Abi is running on the display. If I
start kwm while kwm is already running on the same display, it notices this and
exits, even if the two kwms are running on different computers.
