When loading a URL in the sidebar this page get's the main page as referrer.
This is a potential privacy problem, because it would be quite ease to make a
sidebar that tracks what a user is doing by continually reloading a hidden IFRAME.

The Sidebar should send itself as referrer.

Hm.... Can't reproduce it always it seems... It happened a few times when I was
debugging my Coldfusion MX project. But now it shows the right referrer...

Strange... Maybe there is something wrong, somewhere? I'll try to reproduce it
now...
Can't reproduce now... I'll re-open when I can :(
