patch - hack fix

This issue was split out of bug 64702.

Scenario:
  A modal dialog pops up (e.g, a javascript alert), while simultaneously a load
happens in the window behind the modal dialog.

Problem:
  When the load completes in the window behind the modal dialog, the window
behind is given focus, which prevents the modal dialog from acting on events.
Unfortunately, since the modal dialog has a grab on events, nothing can be done
with the browser and it must be killed.

Expected behavior:
  When the load completes in the window behind the modal dialog, the window
behind should not be given focus.

I'll attach a test case that does not crash in today's build, and a patch that
fixes the problem, but not in the right way.  (Both from bug 64702)
