Yes.

The option is your idea, the fact it is [ ] or [x] does not indicate 
who invented it :-))

I am confused about what you are confused. I get this option from your 
mail, because I didn't want this feature be hardcoded :-) That's all.

Wait, do we allow that one application instance (process) would have 
several windows?

Maybe it is where confusion comes from. I would say no, because 
otherwise the whole environment would become more complicated, and 
from user POV it is hard to tell if the window A and B are from the 
same or different processes.
