One of my users complained (bitterly) that when he arrives,

admit he's right; it's a bad user interface. That message only makes
sense on Tracs that can be used without logging in. Is there
something I can do about this?
Of course. Assuming you're using apache, change the Auth Required scope to
include the root URL, instead of just the /login path.
Ie change something that looks like this:
<LocationMatch "/tracsrv/test/login">
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>
to this:
<LocationMatch "/tracsrv/test/">
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

I'm using the new AccountManager, one of whose benefits is that the
login screen is a real HTML form. IIUC, if I do what you're
suggesting, I'll end up with an HTTP auth dialog box instead.
