[guessing at component]

bz's testcase at http://web.mit.edu/bzbarsky/www/test.html has an infinite (or
at least, long loading) iframe. while it loads, the stop button is greyed out.
it shouldn't be.

seamonkey cvs trunk from a few days ago, linux, gtk2

Note that we've behaved this way for a long time (at least since Jan 2003; I
didn't bother testing earlier), so I suspect this is semi-purposeful for network
activity after onload.  Not sure why, though.... Maybe to avoid the stop button
lighting up and throbber going for things like image precaching, XMLHttpRequest,
etc, etc?
