Ok, that makes sense. How about this solution: Since we need to reveal
the selection from nautilus-application.c
(nautilus_application_present_spatial_window_with_selection), I'm
thinking of creating a new function in nautilus-view-frame.c called
'nautilus_view_frame_reveal_selection'. So when a window is already
open, we call nautilus_view_frame_selection_changed() and then
nautilus_view_frame_reveal_selection() to reveal the new selection.
Sound like a good idea?
