I believe this is now fixed in svn.

I'm sure we can come up with some new samples.  What exactly are people 
looking for in samples?

Yes, you can do one login for all forms in navigator.  That has been in there 
a while.  The latest navigator was released with a new experiment in 
embedding the forms inside the navigator panel itself.  We've now have some 
sample screenshots of forms embedded in navigator thanks to Sacha.

He has spent the last two weeks with the GNUe tools. Learning the them, 
writing documentation for appserver, and providing feedback.  During that 
period he's used appserver, forms, designer, navigator, and reports to create 
the start of a small business app.

He's put together some screenshots of his efforts which are currently located 
at http://www.gnuenterprise.org/~sachas/screens/

We hope to have this code moved into our gnue-contrib repository as time 
permits.

When you say db api are you talking our or python's?  There is a simple sample 
of using our system in the gnue-common developer's guide.  

http://www.gnuenterprise.org/tools/common/docs/

It shows moving data from one table to another.  The same concept works for 
updating infomation.  You simply change the values you want changed and 
post().  Personally I would say that it's a little more involved in setting 
up the datasources vs a dbsig sql execute approach but you gain a lot in 
portability and ease of use in the main code.

Take Care,
