[Conkeror] Blank Window when following link

[Nelson Elhage]

Hmm. This is a bug I also see, like Nathan, on _any_ link that opens
in a new window, even in a 5-line HTML file with a single <a href="."
target="foo">...</a>. I spent some time in IRC with retroj trying to
track it down (he also sees the expected behavior) and we came up with
nothing. The conversation was on #conkeror at around 16:00 Friday
March 14 EST, if you have logs.

For some reason, when I have browser_default_open_target set to
OPEN_NEW_BUFFER (which is the default), the new buffer gets created
and set as current by openURI in content-buffer.js (around line 500),
but then somehow a new window gets opened anyways, which is the
behavior Nathan is seeing.

OPEN_NEW_BUFFER_BACKGROUND and OPEN_NEW_WINDOW both work as expected
to me. Given that the OPEN_NEW_BUFFER and the _BACKGROUND code are
almost identical, this is very strange to me.

I've tried this both on Mozilla XULRunner 1.9b3pre - 2007122108, which
retroj suggested I try, and on a relatively recent nightly, and I get
the same behavior.

I don't really know enough about xulrunner and all the related
technologies going on here to debug much further.
