It will use the "standard" interface (I assume that's what you mean) if you
call it practically anything but Konqueror :-(  Mine's currently set to
declare itself as "Mozilla 1.7.3 on Windows XP", but I've tried all sorts
of things with equal success.  It's even working with Google Calendar now,
which has given me trouble before.

Yes - this is exactly the issue I mentioned.  The submit button is a
javascript link, not a proper form button.  I don't know whether this is
blessed by w3c or not, but it's common, it makes sense, and it really
breaks konqueror's ability to work with _many_ pages.  

<a href="javascript: document.forms['loginForm'].submit();">Sign In</a> 

Of course, if the button was:
<sometag onclick="document.forms['loginForm'].submit();" />

it would be both w3c compliant _and_ working...
