driver.getWindowHandles() does not give all window handles

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1.load www.google.com
2.click on element "Gmail"
3.wait until gmail page is loaded
4.check driver.getWindowHandles(), returns a set with one element related to 
first page ("google.com")

What is the expected output?
Expecting two window handles (one for parent "google.com" and another for 
"gmail.com"

What do you see instead?
I see only one handle like CDwindow-17D06054-DCE2-46AD-B7F2-336D2AB1C8F8

according to you testing program, only one window will be opened.
switch pages within the same window 
http://www.google.com
https://www.gmail.com/intl/en/mail/help/about.html
the iteration of driver.getWindowHandles  will be only one.
Can we close this issue if it is solved?
