There's other bugs:
Kalray RCP has the same behaviour as TMF RCP.
A customer of mine completely corrupts the workspace by running 2 instances of the RCP at the same time.
(according to log file, it seems files stored in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/ have been corrupted).
After that, it's no longer possible to start the RCP without deleting the workspace.

I have the same questions :)
