+Running multiple instances on the same machine
+==============================================
 
- $ source ./setup-run-from-source.sh # needs bash
+You can use the --test command line options.
-
+For example:
-in the top-level directory. Icons and other resources are still loaded
-from the installed location though.
-
-To run the shell
-
- $ cd shell/src
- $ ./shell.py
-
-You can run activities like this
-
- $ cd browser
- $ ./browser.py
-
-(Just remember to have the shell running)

-Running two instances on the same machine
-=========================================
-
-1) Install Xephyr
-2) Add another user to your machine, lets call that user 'sugar'
-2) Run Xepyhr as your normal user:
-
- $ Xephyr -ac -host-cursor -screen 800x600 :1
-
-3) In a new shell:
-
- $ su sugar -
- $ dbus-daemon --session --print-address
-
-4) In another new shell 
-
- $ su sugar -
- $ export DISPLAY=:1
- $ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=<output dbus-daemon command from above>
- $ metacity &

-5) In the previous shell, run sugar
