I think it would take an awfully sophisticated script (well, at least from my 
perspective, not being much of a coder at all) to manage all the different 
login methods required.  I use KDE Wallet which eliminates a step (remembers 
web form passwords as well as local).  I'm interested to hear what others 
have to say.
