yeah, that's probably the best solution for now. what i'd like,
eventually, is to allow each component to chose what the links it (or
a nested component) generate. this will require a component
dependency protocol (ala clim's grafting/adopting protocol), which
still requires some thought.

that's the expected behaviour. since those urls contaion session,
frame and actian parameters ucw will look at the parameters first,
only when the parameters don't provide a vaild action to call (like
when the session has expired) does ucw fall back on the query path (in
this case "/index.ucw") and attempt to cal the entry point.
