[Trac] Changing users

[Alain]

It is not a Firefox problem (it could have been). I just tested with 
Regular Windows 98SE, fully updated and Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106: 
the behaviour is exacly the same...

In other messages it is sai that this is HTTP problem and not a Trac 
bug. IMHO it is a problem, just that. No other application that I know 
of has this behaviour *but* the proble is in fact quite simple: 
*the*login*link*doesn't*open*the*login*screen* just that, not a lot of 
complicated things I was reading in a lot of discussions including 
ticket #791 ...
