Patches always welcome. (not sure if it is currently possible to disable
this option).

I must ask why?  What problems are you having with it?

If you have not specified the document you want to open, do you not
usually want a new blank window instead?

If this feature turned out to be a really bad idea it could be changed but
I want to be absoultely sure that the feature cannot be improved or there
is a problem that cannot be fixed before rejecting or removing it.

Sincerely
