Ah. I've had situations (especially on windows for some reason) where  
if I use localhost cookies aren't set. If this is the case for you,  
you'll need to change this setting:

$conf['session']['use_only_cookies'] = true;

to false so that you can use URL sessions. Or, use a real name for  
your local system.

Well, the issue there is that you'll need to modify the lib/base.php  
files of all of those apps so that they're looking for Horde's  
core.php in the right place. Otherwise, it's fine.
