  Site Admin flashes on logout at times
- Defect Severity set to new value
  Medium
- Steps to Reproduce set to new value
  1. Invoke Site Admin.
2. Hit the About button.
3. Hit the Close button in the About box.
4. Hit the Logout button.  Notice a flash before the login screen is displayed.

This problem is much more noticable as the number of popup windows goes up.  Try popping up the About Box, Help Window, and Server Status window.  Close them and hit Logout, you will notice the flashing more.  Note that, if you do not close them before logging out, there is no flashing.

  Map Admin
- Resolution Description set to new value
  Whenever a popup is created, it's name is stored in a list.  When the user logs out, all of these windows are closed.  JavaScript is used for this.  In order to close each window, the window reference needs to be retrieved.  Currently, this is done by calling window.open with the popup's name.  To fix this problem we need another way of obtaining the window reference.  
- Status Explanation set to new value
  This is a mildly annoying cosmetic bug with a workaround.  Also, it seems unlikely that the user will have opened many popup windows and closed them through the course of a Site Admin session.
- Component set to new value
  Web Server Extensions
- Description set to new value
  This defect can be seen when you run Site Admin, pop up some windows (help, About, logs), and close those windows manually before logging out of Site Admin.  In this case, there is some flashing as those windows are deleted by the Logout procedure.
