Bug Description

Nautilus 2.30.1, Ubuntu 10.04

1. Download a file that Ubuntu does not know how to open, e.g. a Microsoft Cabinet archive file (.cab).
2. Double-click on it.
3. Double-click on it again.

What happens:
2. An error alert opens, 'Could not display "/home/mpt/something.CAB". There is no application installed for Microsoft Cabinet archive files'
3. Another alert opens with exactly the same text.

What should happen:
3. The existing error alert for that file is focused.

Open with dialog does the same thing so should maybe fix this at the same time.

Properties dialog behaves correctly, so can see how its should be implemented by looking at this.
