I agree.  And that is why originally I put logout buttons on all the apps
I wrote.  But the Horde group as a whole felt differently.  And I can see
their reasoning.  So, as two (you and me) against the many, and since the
many did have a decent argument, I gave way to the many.

I think at least for now, your only solution is to grab the old logout code
from the older release, and paste it into the new release.

There does seem to be a flaw in the Horde group philosophy here, in that if
you go directly to an app, then there is no way to logout.  (For example, I
often use chora this way).  The only way to fix this would be to add logout
buttons to all Horde apps.
