Have you looked at the sork modules (http://www.horde.org/sork/) which
already provide this functionality?

I know of no way to do this.  The sork module assumes you will simply logout
and back in again also.  If you find/create a way, I would be most interested
in it.

The only idea I've had so far is a redirect to the logout script.  But that
isn't really what you are asking for.
