Hello, in Mozilla Suite Sidebar always used to take focus when it was called by F9. I use it for online dictionary, so cursor was always ready in first form field of Sidebar's html page. Since I downloaded SeaMonkey, Sidebar does not tak focus after I press F9 anymore, so I have to click on Sidebar's html first to be able to type searched word in form's field. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press F9 to open any sidebar
2. Use keyboard to type or navigate
3. 

Actual Results:  
Focus is still on main window, not on Sidebar, therefore typing anything will result in SeaMonkey searching text on main window, using navigation keys will result in navigation on main window.

Expected Results:  
Focus should be on Sidebar, keyboard typing/navigation should be sent to Siderbar's window.

Prior to SeaMonkey 1.0 Mozilla Suite always used to have focus on Sidebar after Sidebar was called by F9.
