Sorry, I meant that cookies are working correctly in my browser (for
other sites).  But you are of course right that something is wrong
with cookies when I access my myth backend.  I checked, and none are
being stored by firefox.  I made some changes to my apache2 setup,
and now session files are being stored in .../mythweb/php_sessions,
but a new session file is created for each access. 

I've put the following entries in my apache2 config file:

  <Directory /var/www/mythweb/>
      AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
  
  ServerName boots:80
  
  UseCanonicalName On

and I access mythweb using

  http://boots/mythweb

I'm on a private network with no DNS entries, just entries in
/etc/hosts.  I can't find any useful log entries about this.

Any idea how to fix it?

Ok.  The GET style settings could still be useful in case people want
to bookmark different display styles, but I agree it's not likely to
be used much if cookies (or your future method) work.
