I don't remember how phplib works, but it might be possible that
Netscape and Internet Explorer don't stored session cookies in
their cookie cache.  Session cookies are those cookies that only
exist for the length of the browser session, so they can exist in
the process's memory space and don't need to be written to disk.

Session cookies have their expiration time set to zero.

Subject: Horde Logout button on horde menu

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but I'd like to have a
logout button appear on the horde menu at the bottom of the screen (so
I can log out regardless of the application I'm currently using).  Is
that possible, and if so, where do I set it?  It looks like I'd need
to set it in registry.php, but I'm not sure what I'd use for settings.
 If it makes a difference, I'm using IMP for authentication.
