*nod* That makes perfect sense.

It's Andy's code and changes, and I've been out of touch, but I can  
tell you what the problem was before: After a successful registration,  
the user is notified that all went well through a generic notify  
callback... and then nothing else happens.

A better response to a successful registration is to connect the  
now-registered account (no prompting for a password is necessary,  
since the user just entered it; however, this should not automatically  
save the password). A callback allows this behavior.

One could have parsed the generic notify message of 'registration  
successful' to hack in an automatic connect... but that's obviously  
ugly.
