Branch build 2001-09-07: Mac OSX

Additional scenario: 
1. Open Navigator
2. Open Mail
3. Select 'File|New Message' and notice it is inactive.
4. Click 'Close' button.

Actual results: NO Navigator window, NO Menus - You see only 'Netscape' on top 
left.
 
Expected results: Navigator window remains.  All Menus are presented on the 
menu bar.

I see there were no respins for 9/07 for osx, so that build had the bug 
for bug 98732 -- new message compose windows were hosed in that build
(ergo, the above comment isn't relevant since all platforms were busted
in quirky ways for message compose).

Removing OSX+ since it's a TFV of Moz1.0 and isn't considered a stop ship

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

mike - is this a somewhat low risk fix?  If so, I can try to bring this forward
to rest of PDT for branch approval.  This is fairly important for usability.  I
wasn't familiar with the shortcuts on the Mac and had no way to bring back my menu.

1.  Two windows open
2.  Click on the background window's close button on the titlebar
3.  Only Netscape menu exists
4.  Click on the remaining window.  Still only the Netscape menu exists.
5.  I had to use cmd+N to bring up a new window and then I got the menus back.
