Make IMP the default application after login.

horde/config/prefs.php:


// what application should we go to after login?
$_prefs['initial_application'] = array(
     'value' => 'imp',
     'locked' => false,
     'shared' => true,
     'type' => 'select',
     'desc' => sprintf(_("What application should %s display after 
login?"), $GLOBALS['registry']->get('name'))
);
