The idea was that F2 is not a simple on/off switch but has actually three
states: on/focus/off. So if the bar is already visible, hitting F2 would
focus it. I find it very annoying if I have to move the mouse just to focus
something because 99% of the time that's not where my hands are.

The reason I did not persist the visibility status of the searchbar is
very simple: Someone might accidently or incidently hide the searchbar and
then have trouble to find it after restarting Gtk-Gnutella. We already had
a lot of trouble in the past with the search box when we moved it.

Therefore I've also added the "View" menu item but I'm not certain that's
sufficient. Well, I think I just apply the patch for you and blame it all
on you later.
