Now matter how `almost' it is, it's not enough while Mozilla is still a
single app. I still get Navigator authentication dialogs annoyingly
taking focus when I'm in the middle of composing a message in Messenger,
because Navigator and Messenger aren't separate apps. And if I crash in
Chatzilla it will take down all my Composer windows too, because
Chatzilla and Composer (an IRC client and an HTML editor! how much less
obviously interdependent could you get?) aren't separate apps.
