currently that opens each new app on a new workspace (i.e three clicks
gives you three new workspaces). And you still have to re-show the
activities view between each click. My patch will work if you use
shift+middle-click (to open 3 new workspaces without having to re-show
the activities view), but that's not the behaviour the original post
was about.
