description
This approximates the Open In... functionality of the Windows GVIM implementation.  If there is currently one or more instances of GVIM open, a dialog box is presented which lists them and allows one to be selected.  If the "new" option is picked then a new instance is created.  The last-selected instance is the default.
 
install details
Just put the script in your PATH somewhere and call it instead of gvim.  I've also added it to my kmenu and associated files to it from File Associations so it is called when a file is opened from the file manager.
