I have an Evolution window open on a workspace.
I go to a different workspace.
In the activity bar I right-click the Evolution icon and select "New Window".
A new window does not open.
To get a second Evolution window I need to go to the first window and select File -> New Window
This is true on both my laptop and my workstation.
gnome-shell-3.6.1-1.3.x86_64 evolution-3.6.1-1.2.x86_64 openSUSE 12.2 x86_64
Thoughts?

It looks like running "New Window" from gnome-shell just causes Evolution to be run again. In turn, this makes the existing process try to present its existing window; you just get a notification that "Evolution is ready", and clicking that takes you to the original window.
This is a problem on both ends:
* gnome-shell needs to be able to tell if a program is able to open new windows.
* Evolution needs a way to be told to open a new window.
