[Zope] Zope + Apache + mod_proxy + SiteRoot = some links not proxied?

[Alain Fauconnet]

Hello readers,

I've spent quite some time looking around for the "right" procedure to
integrate Zope and Apache.
I use mod_proxy as described in a number of places, especially:
http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/apache_zserver
I've followed the instructions step by step and it "mostly" works,
meaning that *some* links do not work:
- the "... folder at /..." link at the top of the main frame in ZMI
- the top-right menu (quick start, prefs, logout) in ZMI
- the ZMI link in the home (quick start) page
- ...
These links do not get rewritten to get "/zope" prepended to the 
local path part, so they give an error 404.

All other links work, though, so I think that my setup is "almost"
right.

Am I missing something? I have created the SiteRoot object in the
root (/) folder. Is this correct?
Base is "http://my-server.my-domain.com/zope"
Path is "/"

To somewhat work around this problem, I have had to add a bunch of
extra ProxyPass statements in Apache's configuration, like:

ProxyPass /manage_page_style.css http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage_page_style.css
ProxyPass /manage_workspace http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage_workspace
ProxyPass /manage_zmi_logout http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage_zmi_logout
ProxyPass /manage_zmi_prefs http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage_zmi_prefs
ProxyPass /zope_quick_start http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/zope_quick_start
ProxyPass /manage http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage
ProxyPass /HelpSys  http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/HelpSys
ProxyPass /Examples  http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/Examples
ProxyPass /manage_importObject http://my-server.my-domain.com:8080/manage_importObject

This is probably not the right approach, but I can't find what is wrong in my
setup.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Greets,
_Alain_
