[Catalyst] Session timeout and re-Authentication from a Frame

Hi

A couple of Login/authentication questions:

As expected, when using frames, when a session times out and displays the 
Login page, it does so in the frame that is the target for that request.
Is there any easy trick to be able to get that Login screen to use '_top' as 
the target? perhaps an intermediary Login response page that can set the 
target then request the proper Login page... although I'd have to play 
around to make such a thing work, and was wondering is anyone else already 
had a solution/code I could leverage.

On a further note, with re-authentication after session timeout, it'd be 
good to be able to 'park' the original request while the re-authentication 
occurs, then continue to process it. Assume in this context that all state 
would be persisted against the User (as opposed to the session-id).  
...maybe a response that then pops a temporary window to re-authenticate in 
- thus helping to preserve the underlying targets for the parked then 
subsequently executed request.  Any ideas or code that can be leveraged?

regards
