Allowing an activity to be launched multiple times in parallel

[Erik Garrison]

I think we should not run the activity if it's already running.  But
there are cases such as when I'm running Browse, in which I have
multiple sessions open.  Or sessions of paint.  It's complicated and
probably should be left up to the user.  Someone might want to run two
of anything.
