This problem also exists with the moxftp I just built for 2.0-950322-SNAP.

The following techniques may be overkill, but I find them quite usefull.
I setup a shell script that gets invoked by different names. The script
uses that name to take on a unique personality, ie, its own 'home' directory
'home page' etc. This allows you to keep separate hot-lists and histories,
as well as launch multiple copies simultaniously. While that globe is
spinning you can use another for surfing elsewhere...
Note that you can use unique exports/args for each, in your case XKEYSYMDB.
