MultiDoge will not run side-by-side with MultiBit

[FrancisVonValkenburg]

Environment: Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit, OpenJDK 6

If I have multibit open, multidoge will fail to launch and vice versa. It appears that MultiDoge does a check and detects MultiBit and thinks they are the same application and closes.

With multibit running:

$ java -jar multidoge-exe.jar
23:36:42.533 [main] INFO o.m.ApplicationDataDirectoryLocator - Application data directory.1 = '/home/user/MultiDoge'
$

It just returns to the prompt

From the log file
23:39:26.502 [main] INFO org.multibit.MultiBit - Configuring native event handling
23:39:26.507 [main] INFO org.multibit.MultiBit - Checking to see if this is the primary MultiBit instance

23:39:26.529 [main] DEBUG o.m.ApplicationInstanceManager - Successfully notified first instance.
23:39:26.529 [main] DEBUG org.multibit.MultiBit - Another instance of MultiBit is already running. Exiting.
