 On Mac OS X 10.8.x (but I have also seen it in previous versions of it),
 when Tor reconnects the window and space containing the Tor browser bundle
 will have focus to it restored.

 Steps to reproduce:

 * Start TBB
 * Disconnect from the network
 * Go to a space different than the one where TBB is in
 * Wait for Tor to automatically reconnect
 * Focus is restored to the TBB space

 I believe this is quite a serious anonymity leak because if you restore
 your laptop from sleep and are showing something to somebody it will
 unexpectedly switch to your torbrowser all of a sudden.
