Session problem with new IE browser window from window.open()

Hello,
I am running into this strange session invalid issue when I open a new
browser window using javascript's window.open(). I have a portlet
running on Jetspeed portal. I have two different links on this portal
which point to two different applications running on two "different"
ports on an application server. On click of each link I invoke
window.open() with the URL for that link and it invokes a child
browser with that URL. Now, when I click both the links from the
parent window, I am able to open 2 different browser windows but when
I try to access the applications in these windows, it throws me a
SessionTimeOut exception invalidating the session.

My idea was to make it available to the user so that the user can (if
wanted) open two links in two differnt browsers and work
simultaneously. I was told that when window.open() is used, it just
opens a IE window but not a IE process and thus carries the same
session. I want it to be new session whenever the user clicks those
links as they are different applications and should be dealt
differently. Is there a work around for this?

Are there any settings in IE that I can force to create a new IE
process when the link is clicked or is there any thing that I can do
in Javascript to make this work. I spend almost a whole day
researching on this but in vain. Please let me know if you guys have
any ideas.

TIA,
Gnan
