I wonder if this is related to another issue I've been seeing: the cursor
blinking in fields which are not actually focused (e.g. the mail password
dialog, which comes up with a blinking cursor but you have to click to actually
type your password).  Shouldn't we, eventually, only blink the caret in the
element which actually has focus?

Yes, I've seen this behavior too, it's an ender thing, all our dialogs are just
XUL.
