From Bugzilla Helper:

Being a power-user and a fast clicker, I found this error annoying and
perculiar.  It seems that NO component of mozilla is able to be run during the
first two seconds of quicklaunch reloading.  Also, the right-click menu is
auto-closed if you right-click the system tray icon within 2 seconds.  If I wait
till three seconds elapses, mozilla performs as normal, however this 2 second
"blackhole" period might be symptom of more serious problems (hopefully not) in
quicklaunch.  I think it should get some looking into.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a shortcut on the desktop (or someplace right in your face) to mozilla.
2. Open a navigator window (or for that matter mail/news or composer)
3. There should only be 1 open mozilla window, and the quicklaunch icon should
be resting peacefully on the system tray.
4. Close the navigator window.
5. Quicktime dissappears, then reappears...
6. Immediately double-click the mozilla shortcut (doesn't matter if its a
navigator or mail/news or whatever shortcut).
7. Mozilla does not open...the request was ignored.

Actual Results:  Nothing.  Mozilla didn't play fair...

Expected Results:  Mail/news, composer, whatever opens (depending on what
component the shortcut specifies).

If you wait 5 seconds then execute a shortcut, everthing goes well...I have
isolated it to a 2 second window.  It seems quicklaunch is opening/closing
threads or processes, because if you right click quicklaunch during this period,
you'll see a "Navigator, Mail News, Composer, address book, disable quicklaunch"
menu come up.  However, this menu is closed within a very short period of time,
which typically happens when an application opens/closes...its hard to describe
the typical circumstances for when this happens in other applications, but it
does happen...for example, try rightclicking on of your applications on the
toolbar (say mozilla) then hit the Windows key (if you've got an  extended
keyboard).  The start menu pops up and cancels the right-click context
menu...this is what's happening at the end of this blackhole period, however the
process/thread that's causing this problem is invisible (I don't see it)...so
it's not obvious like the start menu example...
most likely related to:

bug 146340 - quick launch icon disappears for a second after closing last window
bug 151532 - Delay system-tray icon until it is ready to accept mouse-clicks

I would suggest either 
(1) opening a new bug, or 
(2) focussing this bug on the "double-click mozilla shortcut is ignored"

Any preference from law or gbush on how this should be handled?
