Hmm. Remember that the location entry only exists by default for
non-indexed search engines. It won't appear for e.g. a tracker or beagle
search. So, I don't think having this affect where we go back to makes
sense.

I commeted in the bug, but short of it is, I'd prefer an in-entry go
icon (similar to firefox) that is only visibile when the search bar is
"edited". That makes things look nicer and doesn't conflict with reload.
