Hi,

currently it's possible for an user to run two Thunar --daemon. I can't see a case where this would be useful, while it can be bad. For example when you want a thunar window whem two thunar daemons are running, you end up with two thunar windows (because each daemon reacts).

It'd be nice if Thunar --daemon could check for a running instance before starting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run Thunar --daemon
2. run Thunar --daemon
3. run Thunar

Actual Results:  
Two Thunar windows appear

Expected Results:  
The second Thunar --daemon should detect the running one and refuse to run.
