in thread practical aspects of sessions and state

Shouldn't the login apply to all windows? Each windows should service the same user, but each should have a different state.

For example, if I log into perlmonks through one browser window and start browsing, I want to be able to open another and continue browsing under the same identity.

    Yes, and for that you'd use a cookie or basic-auth for the "browser" identity, but mangled URLs or hidden fields for the "window" thread, if needed.
