In Gecko storage events for a change in window X are fired at all
windows _except_ X that use that localStorage.
This is in fact what the spec says to do. See
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/#localStorageEvent which says:
When the setItem(), removeItem(), and clear() methods are called
on a Storage object x that is associated with a local storage area,
if the methods did something, then in every HTMLDocument object whose
Window object's localStorage attribute's Storage object is
associated with the same storage area, ****other than x****, a
storage event must be fired, as described below.

Sounds like some bugs need to be filed on Safari and Opera.
