The patch fix the following problems:
1) bogus blinking cursor in editor
2) enable the editable field in case the compose window was closed in a bad state
3) disable the editable field, include the editor when caching the window, that
might fix the problem were the compose window show up by itself.
4) clear the subject field when caching the window.
