hm, this works for me *if* i click the content area before doing a keyboard
shortcut [tested on linux, 2001.06.27.07-branch comm]. however, i wonder if bug
73064 is interfering --since i don't need to click the content area if the
Navigation toolbar is present/open.

bryner/jesse, d'you think this is a dup of bug 69504? [it's at least a variation
of it...]

Focus would normally be in the location bar on startup, but since the location
bar doesn't exist, nothing has focus and so keyboard shortcuts don't work.  The
content area should get initial focus on window creation if the location bar
isn't visible.

so this isn't a toolkit bug, is it? sounds like xpapps needs to put focus in the 
right place

don't try to focus the urlbar if the toolbar isn't visible.

Nominating for beta... we should consider this since it's an easy fix for (what
amounts to) total loss of functionality if you are a keyboard-only user and
happen to choose the menu item to hide the navigation toolbar.

vrfy'd fixed with 2002.06.17.0x comm trunk bits on linux rh7.2, win2k and mac
10.1.5...although, interestingly, this no longer seems a problem on the branch
either. perhaps the fix to bug 37638 might've affected this on this branch?
