Overview Description:
	When clicking on a text input field, there are about twice as many focus, blur
and click events reported as appear to happen.

Steps to Reproduce:
	1) Launch apprunner
	2) Load http://marvin.mcom.com/whitebox/tools/Event%20Tools/16-1.html
	3) Click on any text input area ([1], [2], [3], [7], or [8]) and observe the
output in the Input Events[3] field.

Actual Results:
	Using the field "Username [1]" as an example, the output will look something
like this:
		Focus: username ()
		Blur: username ()
		Focus: username ()
		Blur: username ()
		Focus: username ()
		Click: username ()
		Click: username ()

Expected Results:
	Using the field "Username [1]" as an example:
		Focus: username ()
		Click: username ()

Rod, I'm going to sling this your way as you've been doing a lot with this and
I don't want to break any of your work.

This is a known problem, it happens because the text control has a native
window. This will go away when the light-weight webshells are implemented.

The problem is the native window that gets the mouse down click is different
than the native window that the nsHTMLInputElement is trying to the focus on and
this causes all the focus events to be generated.

Now no focus/blur messages are being created on:
Linux 1999112809 apprunner

Couldn't test on:
Win98 1999112809 apprunner not launching
MacOS86 1999112715 apprunner installer hangs
