Andreas, I have tried the following code but I cannot get it to compile
because PLUGIN_PAGE_ACCT_TREE_CM_CLASS is only defined inside gnome/gnc-
plugin-page-account-tree.c. If it were defined in a .h instead, then
obviously I could just #include it. Should I move the definition to
gnome/gnc-plugin-page-account-tree.h or does this break some design goal?
Or is there another way to determine whether an account tab is already open?

  GncPluginPage *page;

  /* Open an account tab in the main window if one doesn't exist already. */
  if (!gnc_find_first_gui_component(PLUGIN_PAGE_ACCT_TREE_CM_CLASS, NULL,
NULL))
  {
    page = gnc_plugin_page_account_tree_new();
    gnc_main_window_open_page(NULL, page);
  }

Thanks,
Charles
