This bug is fuzzy (sorry) but i wanted to capture the thought.
I like the login workflow changes.
But I often find the login window in my browser history when I don't expect it to be there.

I suppose it should be there (?) when I'm working, hit orion.eclipse.org, login, and then do work.  But I think I've seen it in the browser history at other times too, sandwiched in between two Orion pages.

It could be the "new build was deployed" issue, and that I truly did a login.  The main point of this bug is to check the workflow for the redirects, etc. and make sure what we are doing with browser history is reasonable.

Here's a common case I think needs improving...

- open a navigator link (from bookmark, browser bar history, whatever).
- you get the redirect to login.  Login
- now you are back at the navigator.

If you click back in the browser history from your navigator, you will go back to the login and then back to the navigator.  

I realize this is literally what happened, but the user didn't ever feel that they started in the navigator, went to login, and back.

I would expect that either there is no history related to the redirects, or maybe the login window is in the history, but not that first (failed) attempt to go to the navigator.
