[Greasemonkey] Getting script to run once the page fully loads

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Mark,

 when I did window.addEventListener('load', my_entire_script_code, false), my
code actually was called before the page loaded. In fact, I changed the 'load'
to unload, blur, etc and my code was called regardless.

When I removed the line
 window.addEventListener('load', my_entire_script_code, false);

The code didn't run, so I am fairly confident that that listener was calling my
code.
