[Zope] newbie can't log out of zope manager?

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Peter,

I *think* you are facing the following problem:

HTTP does not define a "logout" for HTTP-authentication.
The browser keeps sending user and password all the time
to the server. Most browsers however flush this information
if they get suddenly presented with an "unauthorized" report
from server since it is identical with the situation when the
user inputs wrong credentials.
Zope "logout" uses this effect with a page that gets called
where nobody has the right to view. This causes this login-screen
appear whatever user/password combo has been set.
You have to close this window and go to the management page 
again, perhaps by clicking anywhere on it but not at this
"logout" button again ;)
