Attachment: Proposed patch

mozilla-the-browser uses the SessionHistory to perform the reload, rather than
the webnavigation, see

This patch mimics that code for the embedding widget

Proposed patch

It would be great if this could also get into the 1.7 branch. It only affects
the gtk embedding component, so is low risk, and is highly visible for users of
the widget (such as galeon and epiphany)

This bug is getting the approval1.7.3+ flag without being confirmed??? Why still
UNCONFIRMED?

Mainly because I have always been led to believe its not good form to confirm my
own bug, and no one else has been bothered....

Well, blizzard or shaver could do it as they super/reviewed your patch. Or do it
yourself so we can see your bug when querying the database without UNCONFIRMED
being selected.

Thanks very much to timeless for checking this patch in, it is in both the 1.7
branch and trunk.
