Bug Description
I think middle clicking on an application icon should start the new instance of the application, just like if select «Open new window» in the right click menu.
Similar behaviour you can see in Windows 7 and in internet browsers (middle click on link opens new tab).
Status @ 2011-03-14:
The (additional) middle-click behaviour has been implemented with the patch below. At the same time, the hardcoded Quicklist "New Window" support has been deprecated and removed in favour of a system that moves the "New Window" entry into each appropriate application's Quicklist menu, as declared in the corresponding '.desktop' file. For more details, see:

I think this is a useful approach. John, middle click is a precious
resource but I think I prefer this to the ubiquitous extra item in the
quicklists. Thoughts?
