When you first press the icon the overview disappears and the focus returns to the terminal window, so you're proposing that to start a new terminal I go the overview, press terminal, go back to the overview, press terminal again. Apart from the repetitive nature of this when we already have ways of launching a new instance (control-click or right-click) how is the shell meant to distinguish between "I want a new instance" and "take me to a previous instance"?
