Yeah, that's an interesting point.  OTOH, some people find the instant 
redirect annoying, because it makes it harder to bookmark a clean entry 
point URL.  So I think we maybe need to support both behaviors.
In the short term, to get the effect you want, you can subclass 
WARenderLoopMain, and override #start: as follows:

start: aRequest
	self session redirect.
	super start: aRequest

Then set your subclass as the Main class for your app, and you should 
be ok.
