Benjamin, If I understand you correctly, what you are seeing is that a user that logs into your application will have to log in again for Google Docs. This sounds like expected behavior. A user may wish to log in to an application without logging into their docs account. Logging into an App Engine application with a Google login does not log a user into any Google services automatically.
