Have you ever been bitten by accidentally loading multiple instances of the same application in GNOME? When you click on the launcher of an already-running application in GNOME, it will load up another instance of the same application, instead of switching to the already running one. This can lead to bugs and other unforeseen behaviour, which of course isn't desirable. In GNOME 3, this issue has been resolved.

Why not leave the current procedure as it is from the user's point of view, and just open a new window for the application when the user chooses it second time from the menu? You can add the New Window command, just don't remove this familiar way of opening new windows.
