I tried making the menu reload when the login form was submitted, but it would
reload before the authentication could finish.  So, the login/logout would
still be incorrect.  I wonder if there is a way to have a delayed reload.  I'll
keep messing with it.

What I meant was have a frame that takes up the whole browser window.  This
would be the side-effect of having an invisible frame.  The full-screen frame
could be used for the target instead of _top.  I didn't have a whole lot of
luck with this either, though.
