Good point.  Yes, that might be a good idea, especially if we can get
Home/End to quickly get you back to the first/last control on the
toolbar... what do you think, Marc?  What about menu bars, should they
wrap around or stop with a beep too?  (I'm guessing menu bars and
toolbars should behave the same whichever approach we choose, but I
could be wrong.)

about it too much just now.
