Logging in from front page doesn't return to front page

Bug Description

Normally, logging in from any Launchpad page (other than the "You are logged out page") returns you to the page you were at. For some reason, this doesn't work on the front page: logging in at <https://launchpad.net/+login> takes you to a page saying "You are now logged in as Scott James Remnant" (or whoever) but doesn't give you anything else to do.

This seems to only affect logging in at the top level (https://launchpad.net/+login). At any other level, you get redirected back to the page you were viewing.

Steve, is there any reason for this? If not, I'm going to change it to always redirect you to / when you login at /+login.

I'll put in a vote for redirecting to the 'stuff I'm interested in page'
(probably /people/$person.name at this point) instead of the root.

That would be even better.
