Alas, "this" isn't working; I get "global name 'this' is not defined".

The problem seems to be that the ZClass instance _isn't_ at the top of 
my DTML namespace.  If it were, I would just be able to refer to my 
other methods directly, using <dtml-with>, like I want to.  It may be a 
bug in LoginManager's LoginUser... my ZClass is subclassing a python 
base class wrapper, which is in turn subclassing LoginUser.

I have another ZClass, subclassing a different python base class.  This 
base class in turn subclasses DataSkin and OFS.Folder.Folder.  The 
problem does not happen in this second ZClass.
