lbpp on "WP Login in pop up with refresh parent on login"

So as everyone knows the default wordpress login page isnt very easy to customize. Currently I have a link in my header for “Login”, this pops up a window with a login box. The problem I am having is upon successful login I want the popup to A. set the session B. close the popup and refresh the parent window, which is the index of the site, using javascript. After looking at wp_login.php, I see where the redirect is taking place but I am just lost on how to insert the refresh as part of the $redirect_to. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? Here is the site for ref – http://www.LBPP.net

thanks!
