... there also some sentiment here at umich that people should obtain 
their credentials before using an application that needs them. 
Popping up the dialog as a side effect dulls their sensitivity to 
typing their password into such a dialog whenever they are asked for 
it.

     While I understand the convenience and the past history of doing 
it this way, I'd like to make a pitch for some discussion of this 
aspect of things.  I know there's a preference for this feature, 
maybe it's enough.  What do people think ? ... Gav
