Kurt, Norris,

Yes, with the change to the shell this should be possible.  The problem before
was that if you loaded the same file with different relative path names, two
different windows in the debugger were created because everything (windows,
breakpoints, etc) is keyed off the source name.

The attached file contains the fix (and includes the workaround for
Desktop.getSelectedFrame).

There are still some bugs in transferring focus between the windows in the
Desktop.  I haven't had time to track down the problem or a solution.
