Added support for a very cool new feature. The Authorization Alert dialog should now fairly accurately show the host name corresponding to the socket connection, as you were likely to have typed it (in the web browser, or on the command line, etc.) instead of relying upon the ever-so-fickle reverse dns records. Specifically, if you type yahoo.com into Safari, then the authorization alert should actually read yahoo.com instead of w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com, which is popularly believed to be somewhat less useful. And no, it does not just strip off everything prior to yahoo.com. You'll need GlowWorm FW (not Lite) to use this feature. There's a free demo. Try it.

Fixed numerous inconsistencies related to Auto Answer, that should make life much more sane for many people.

Finally fixed some focus issues, so that after you answer an Authorization Alert, the focus should switch back to whatever application you were in before the alert was displayed. Also, the Preferences window for Menubar.app should not receive the focus when it is opened, instead of coyly hanging out in the background.
