This feature exists in Nautilus, but as a global setting for all actions 
that open a new window. If you have that preference set on (can't remember 
its name and too lazy to look it up), then it will reuse windows.

We can add a command-line option that lets you explicitly request this for 
URIs on the command line, but I'm worried that it's not well-enough 
thought through yet. I don't want to continue gyrating on the command-line 
options if we can avoid it. There's been a lot of tweaking around on those 
since we started the project.
