I'm using the SyncTeX plugin in gedit and it seems that ctrl-clicking in gedit (forward-searching) opens up a new instance of Evince even if there was already an instance open.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening? The SyncTeX forward search clearly calls evince in a way that is not the same as e.g. nautilus would.

By the way, I compile my tex files with a script using the "external tools" plugin. The line that opens the pdf file uses xdg-open.
