While I can see this being all well and good for apps from the gnome project itself, I don't see how this change will work well for independent apps. You can't expect everyone to conform to gnome's own vision.
Take VLC - it doesn't have a new window option and you can't guarantee that the VLC devs will implement it just for the gnome desktop.
I think this sort of behaviour should be user changeable on a per app basis, but the GNOME project seems to have a lot of antipathy towards user configurability so I doubt that will happen.
