Well, I don't have a clear picture of what the best design for this idea
would be.  There would need to be some way to configure what each app does
for authentication, and whether it will draw on the central Horde
credential list or not when it goes out to external services; don't know
if what you have above is part of that, or sufficient.  But clearly it
also needs to store the credentials themselves; in the session, not the
config. files.

If the user changes their password outside of Horde (using external tools
against the back-end auth. system), they're going to be locked out of the
external service then; no way around that.  Would be nice if the Horde
app. re-tried credentials and/or re-prompted the user in that situation.
If password-changing was integrated into Horde, you could probably do it
more nicely and change the stored session credentials.

I thought of xbiff when saying a popup would be one solution because what is 
xbiff if not a separate (popup) window.

But I can live very well with a refreshing horde menu, because I always use the 
horde framework. I just thought about the many, many complaints, after the 
contacts icon moved away from the imp menu.
