Mmm, first time it works, but then I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 175, in on_load
  File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 154, in run_timed_function
  File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 174, in <lambda>
  File "./alloy.py", line 15, in on_load
Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in
    Window.set_view_index(Window, NoneType, int, int)

    set_view_index(SP<edit_window::reference>, SP<TextBufferView>, int, int)

Any reason why this doesn't work when there is no previous file open?
