(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-][rtm need info]) 

In the modern skin, if the primary toolbar is collapsed, you end up in an 
unrecoverable state.  The toolbar becomes unexpandable, and you can never get it 
back (unless you switch to Classic).

This is because async XBL doesn't guarantee a bindingattached event firing order
for parents and children.  It should, and this is the cause of the bug.

Thanks to the modern skin's collapsible menubar, this bug has a worst-case
scenario where you basically can't use the product at all, with only obscure
workarounds (switch skins, open a second window using component bar).  Hard to
fix correctly, but should be able to put in a temporary fix.  nsbeta3+/p2

PDT:  Holding for resolution of Selmer's question.  Need info on workarounds.

No, it isn't.  The View menu does a show/hide.  This is a collapsed/uncollapsed 
bug.

The workarounds that I know of: switch skins or open a new window.  

I have a way to fix this bug that doesn't involve a full-scale bindingattached 
fix.  I can just hack the XUL/JS to make sure this works.  It's safe and pretty 
trivial to do if I go that route.
