Thanks for the details. I understand that the red button doesn't close the app.
I simply would expect double-clicking the icon in the dock when the app is
running with all windows closed to Do The Right Thing, in that case open a new
window, rather than forcing me to think "what I want to do is open a new window,
so let's hit cmd-N."

Not that it's a big problem, but that's what I'd come to expect from my very
short experience with other apps on OS X.

Manuel.
