Well, I may have posted prematurely, but it *is* a problem with the
default RedHat configuration. Thus the irony (me receiving a link to the
LinuxWorld Expo in a RedHAt publication.)

The problem, as it turns out, is probably Linux-related, but more
specifically is window-manager related. Apparently the window focus
behavior of my window manager (MetaCity, BTW) interferes with Mozilla
being able to grab the onClick event properly.

The problem does not occur with Mozilla on Windows, and, I have been told,
will go away by using another (properly configured) window manager.
