  that sounds plausible, since horde verifies that the login succeeds,
only to dump me back at a blank login screen.  so perhaps it starts a
session, only to terminate it almost immediately and start the process
over again.  it would certainly resemble what i'm seeing.  (other
users have tried to log in with their normal accounts and passwords,
and the horde log file claims that *their* logins succeeded as well.)

  cookies don't appear to be an issue -- an attempt to log in stores
exactly two cookies on my system:

  * one with the name "Horde3.3.4" (the name i gave the app)
  * one with the name "auth_key"

both from the proper URL.  so i don't think cookies are the problem.
continuing to investigate, thanks.
