I guess my problem is that I don't consider unexpectedly getting the
Profile Manager dialog "serious trouble." Annoying, yes, especially for
the help desk. Worth trying to work around, sure, especially for the sake
of the help desk. But not serious trouble. Not data-destructive, nor does
it even crash the browser.
It seems to me like the logout-cleanup would be a solution out of
proportion to the problem, in other words. I'm not saying the problem
doesn't need a solution. I would rather try to reword the dialogs first,
as noted.
