The site navigation bar should appear if any of the tabs in a window need it
rather than just if the current tab needs it when set to "Show only as needed".
Otherwise the tab bar jumps up and down, moving it out from under the mouse,
when clicking between tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set site navigation bar to "Show only as needed"
2.Open two tabs, one onto a site that uses the navigatiom bar  and one that doesn't
3.Click on one tab, then the other.
Actual Results:  
The tab bar moved out from under the mouse when changing tabs

Expected Results:  
Show the site navigation bar with everything greyed out if the current tab
doesn't need it but one of the other tabs in the window does.

Bug 102990 looks like a nice(r) solution, but also might be harder/longer to
implement.  

However, given the apparent lack of interest in this bug and the fact that it's
easily solved on a per window basis by setting "show always" - I suggest anyone
interested sign on to bug 102990 and close this one as wontfix. What do you say
Michael?

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
