Normally, you can launch multiple instances of the same program under
OSX using the Terminal program and the Unix command-line interface.
Every OSX app has an Unix executable buried inside the app bundle and
you can launch it. I do it frequently with Apple's Textedit in order to
launch it as superuser, usually with another instance already running.
When I tried this with the Mac OSX Xconq, I got a message that I didn't
have proper permissions. When I tried again "sudo" nothing happened at
all.
