Description
Having a modal panelPopup and either singleSubmit or partialSubmit enabled leads to the lost focus when switching between input fields via tabulator key in IE8 and IE7.
To reproduce use source code attached, then:
1. Open ice:panelPopup in IE8 or 7
2. Select the first input field inside of the panel
3. Press tab-key
Outcome:
--> focus is set on next field - and immedately lost - NO element seems to have focus and user has to click inside a field again.
Happens only the first time - after that works fine.
Notes:
Originally this bug was reported for ICEfaces 2.0 EE G.A release, but I was also able to reproduce it with ICEfaces 3.0 EE G.A library.

Needs to be committed to the icefaces-3.0.x-maintenance branch also.
Applied fix to maintenance branch.

The issue described here is caused by different parts in our bridge and component code that behave differently when using IE:
a) Single submit enforced by the icecore:singlesubmit tag is triggered by 'focusout' events in IE while tabbing. This causes submit being trigerred in IE while in the other browsers the 'blur' events are used but ignored.
b) When the single submit is sent the current focus is set to null which causes DOM update for the script element responsible with the modal popup initialization.
c) The modal popup initialization code (Ice.modal.start() function) toggles the popup's visibility to to hidden and then to visible which causes the focus to get lost in IE.
