I believe the Gmail login/logout could be considered a bug, but it's
how the Google login page works, unfortunately.  When you use the
login url or logout URL, Google assumes you want to log in or out of
your Google account, *plus* it logs you in or out of the app running
on the subdomain you came from by setting a cookie for that
subdomain.  Ideally, the login page wouldn't affect your gmail login
at all.

I don't believe there's a way to authenticate using google accounts to
your entire domain, since you have no control over the cookies the
login page uses.  You could probably accomplish this by rolling your
own auth system (or finding an existing one; aeoid might help), and
you could even allow people to login with google accounts through
openID, at the cost of losing the users API.
