 gk, do you mean that clicking the button would trigger a three step
 automatic sequence: open the menu, pause for a second or two, highlight
 `Security Settings...`, pause, and then open the settings dialog?

 > Also, is interesting this behavior because the user needs to click on
 the highlighted menu to open the slider and this effort makes it memorable
 for the next time.

 This is a good point. My concern with the proposed change is that people
 won't necessarily make the connection between the Torbutton toolbar icon
 and the open menu (Torbutton does not provide a connecting arrow or a
 persistent highlight of the onion icon). I suspect that is one of gk's
 concerns as well.

 Also, from an implementation point of view, this will require new code
 that knows how to open the Torbutton menu. Kathy and I don't know how much
 work that will be.
