[Building Sakai] Bug in Firefox 4 and 5 in Samigo

[Mathieu Plourde]

We have deployed a patch that greys out the whole page once a button has
been clicked (using javascript and css), preventing users from clicking
again before the next page has been fully loaded. It doesn't fix the issue
but should carry us forward for now. See
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1244 for details.
