Better still, at least for some uses, would be to put the subdirectory
in the window you've already got, loosing what is currently in it.
Maybe there could be a menu item "open in current window."  This is
vaguely like the difference between pushd and cd (for csh users):  in
one case you keep around info about where you were, in the other you
don't.

Which is not to say that I wouldn't like the ability to iconify windows,
too.
