Another thought on this; apache uses a string it calls the "realm" to
distinguish between separate login domains. If you could configure all
the web apps you use with the same realm string and have them all use
a common authentication source (the same htpasswd file or mysql/postgresql 
database or LDAP server or whatever), I suspect you'd have single-sign-on 
working, at least for the web applications.
