Yes - as the comment above the code indicates, there was a missing event 
from mozilla when yelp loaded new content into an existing mozembed 
widget.  Basically mozilla wasn't emitting an event that gok could use 
to detect the fact that the onscreen help contents had changed.  Without 
that event, gok didn't refresh its UI Grab keyboard when viewing help.

I agree that this may have been forgotten - possibly the Firefox 3 work 
has fixed it, but I think we'd need to examine the event stream from a 
Firefox-3 gtkmozembed widget (i.e. from yelp) to be sure.
