On Win98, double-clicking the turbo icon can focus an existing browser window, 
whereas selecting "Navigator" always opens a new one.  That should probably be 
fixed before we mark "Navigator" as the default option on the meun.  See also:

I have/had a patch for this.

One note: current implementation will open any or all of 
navigator/composer/mail when you double click (depending on user prefs), if 
there are no windows open when you double-click.  I don't think we'll deal with 
that (Navigator will always appear as the "default").

An alternative approach would be to add a new menu item at the top of the popup
menu, titled "Launch Mozilla" (for example), which would be bold. That seems
logical to me, since the default action is neither of the alternatives presently
displayed in the popup menu.

This menu item would do the same thing as when you double-click the icon (e.g.
launch programs based on user prefs).
