I'd say try using the value from GM_getValue, and if it fails, inform
the user that they should go  re-auth at gmail to get it working.

I think adding GM support for direct cross-domain cookie-ing would be
pretty surprising to users.  But I dunno, cross-domain XHR is v.
useful.

Any other thoughts on this?
