 Not sure whether to log this as a defect or an enhancement, but I would
 call it a defect, so I'm logging it as such.

 When a user is logged in and goes to their profile page, if they log out
 (they have to log out using the userbar link, not the navigation/utility
 logout at the top of the page), it logs them out --> good enough so far.

 But if another user logs in from this *very* page, it will log them in,
 but instead of the new users profile showing up, it stays on the old users
 profile page.  Technically, this is understandable behaviour -- that's the
 same page we logged in from.  But from a user's POV, that could be
 confusing.  I would have the login in drive them either to their own
 profile or the home page.

 (But only if they're on someone else's profile page...)

 ...of course, rerouting is a functionality question, but I found it very
 confusing (and thought it was a bug) when I was on the old user's profile
 landing page when i logged in as a different user...
