I see from experimentation that Mozilla and IE both use an empty string 
for the name of the initial window so most likely that was the reason. 
I can't remember for sure but this seems reasonable ;-)

The problem with these names is that this window is just the one that 
will be used during page load if no window was specified.  You can 
change the current window at any time with WebClient.setCurrentWindow() 
so calling this the "main top level window" would be misleading.

Could you create a new TopLevelWindow with a name of your choice and 
then use that as the current?
