Log activity: there is already a handler

[erikos]

I had the Log activity open and was switching between it and Browse using the Frame. After I while I had the launcher of the Log activity again and it could not start. So I stopped it using the button in the Frame. After that I could not start another Log activity anymore in this session.

Hmm, I am not really sure how to reproduce this - had no luck so far :/

I'm unable to repro this with Log v17 which is GIO based. Can someone try to repro it with an earlier version?

If it happens in older versions of Log, the best fix is probably to update 0.84 with Log v17.

[erikos]

I had problems as well to reproduce it.

Never seen this anymore.
