---------------
Currently this laptop is on ubuntu 16.4 (xenial) -- vanilla unity desktop
It used to work ok in earlier ubuntus
Now on 16.4 it shows 2 emacs icons when editing a file via emacsclient
Clicking the second icon shows no effect
After about 10 seconds it disappears
Dont know when it stopped working because frankly I am not much of a
nautilus -> click -> emacsclient type of user
Current generation -- my students -- however default to this kind of usage
And so they default to one or both of
- gedit by default
- zillions of emacses open for each file they clicked
