[Seaside] Session expiry

[Boris Popov]

Why not show a session expired notice on the home page then when this happens, care to see the code? I can dig it up, its really simple.

Cheers!

This default session expiry behaviour is exactly what gets my goat...
;-) There's nothing graceful, imho, about clicking on a link and being
sent, by default, to the site's start page. If the default were to
send users to a simple "session expired" page, that would change
things completely for me...
