Thanks, that trick worked a little around the horn to get the anwer!
Overall it might be easier if the chrome extensions would keep track
of the name used on window.open calls (second parm) and expose the
window.name on the chrome Window object.
This would be very helpful when using chrome.windows.getAll()
and you are looking for a specific window created by window.open
