[Mediawiki-l] Session problem with Mac OS X widget

And now for something completely different. Sean Billig's Wikipedia
widget for Mac OS X (see http://www.whatsinthehouse.com/widgets/) is
very cool. I'm trying to modify it to read my own wiki (http://
www.dkosopedia.com, which is MediaWiki v 1.5.7), and am having a
problem.
I can search for an article on my wiki with the modified widget and
retrieve the article ok, but when I click on an internal link in that
article (for example [[Washington Post]]) I get an error like the
following:
There is no page titled ":Washington Post?dkuser dkosopedia
session=a5b3e0d963ea0fe29c9f8bc319743992".
where "dkuser" is the name of the account owning the wiki. Clicking
external links (for example [http://www.cnn.com]) work correctly
(they open cnn.com in Safari).
Obviously something is adding dkuser_dkosopedia_session to the query
string and I'm sure there's a very simple explanation, but it's
beyond me.
A possible clue... Note the ":" first character in the error message.
Internal links to pages with something in front of the
":" ([Special:Recentchanges]) DO work ok.
