[Camino] Google search click

[stridey at gmail.com]

Camino actually used to do this, and it was a bug.  It was changed to  
be consistent with all other text fields in the operating system,  
which insert the cursor on single click, instead of selecting all  
text.  For that reason, personally I don't think that this behavior  
should change back, especially since the workarounds that you listed  
are both relatively easy (and you can change the keyboard shortcut  
for "Search the Web" if you like).  Just my thoughts. :)
