  Nice idea, but actually this suffers the same problem I think.  I've seen 
sites that have constantly changing targets but the login is always the same.  
I have some better solutions already.  See bugs.kde.org for more info.  
Basically it would use fuzzy searching (wildcards) to try to find the best 
match if one doesn't exist, but some close ones do.
