A setting or keyboard hotkey to keep the window open after opening an application

Bug Description

The application browser/slab should stay open when holding down CTRL + clicking the application icon, or there should be a gconf setting to keep it open.

Use case: when I want to keep the window open to open a lot of applications, rather than have the gnome menu or the Application Browser close each time eg., the GNOME games.

I don't know where to file an upstream bug report about this application, so any guidance would be helpful for me on this issue.

Thank you for your bug. There is a gconf key for that, gnome-control-center is already using it to not close the shell, not sure if gnome-main-menu needs to be updated though
