IIRC, I did it by passing a HTTP GET argument to the login form:

> <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.redirect('/login?origin=' + absolute_url(), lock=1)">

Or something like that (you'll need to deal with quoting problems, etc).

Then you just use that value in a redirect (you probably have to submit it again
when you actually login, and the "you are logged in" page will be a redirect to
your original page.

Cheers,
