+1 to this too... I would really like to create an "application shortcut" for each one of my specific gmail accounts so that I can keep things in order.
- Having gmail in a tab on my browser gets in the way - I would like to have a new window, specific to gmail, with a specific icon for the account I'm trying to access. - I think most of the pieces are here (application specific shortcuts work great) but I now need a way to point the shortcut directly to an account.
