[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm a long-time user of AUCTeX (thanks, maintainers, for all your work on
it!), and I just started using Okular as my previewer (having found that
Evince 3.18 kept crashing whenever a PDF was updated, most frustrating;
nothing to do with AUCTeX though!).

I noticed that Emacs seemed only ever to start one instance of Okular,
which makes it impossible to view multiple files side-by-side. I tracked
this down to its use of --unique. While there may well be users who prefer
this style, I suggest that it shouldn't be the default in AUCTeX, because
it's not the default for other viewers.
