Comment:

 We are already closing the current window for added safety and I think we
 should do this for any other window as well. It leaves out whole classes
 of corner cases nobody else but us would be caring about by providing
 always a clean slate.

 And, given the bunch of duplicates over time it seems confusing to users
 that windows stay open between sessions while the main window is going
 away.
