I normally have a few virtual desktops running with a number of
windows open, and occasionally I lose sight of the fact that I already
have an XEmacs running a Gnus session when I go to start up Gnus
again.

I'd like to be able to prevent this, somehow.  Does there already
exist a reliable way to tell either before or during Gnus startup that
the same user on the same machine already has a Gnus session running?

Thanks in advance.
