(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-][rtm+]Fix in hand)

If a popup (tooltip) is up when you open a new window, it is possible for the new window to miss the activate event due to lame MacOS widget specific code I wrote a couple weeks ago. Fix in hand.

Once a window gets into this state there is no way out. Deactivating and reactivating the window doesn't work in this case because the command dispatcher semaphore is off by one. Symptoms are spacebar scrolling the page, and the command dispatcher being totally broken (page down, arrow keys, shortcut key sequences all broke). The only workaround is to close the window, open a new one and pray it doesn't happen again.
nsbeta3-, rtm+, can checkin to trunk, but doesn't merit the risk for branch.
