If the admin session times out in the extended menu the sidebar remains and the admin login appears in the content pane. (VM1.1 and J! 1.0.12)
If you then login you will have a sidebar, then another sidebar then the content!
I don't know a way around this as my js is not fantastic
Confirm, temporary solution instead of using the second sidebar for navigation use the first which was left open, until a solution is found.

Just as a note, this still is happening in nightly build VirtueMart 1.1 revision 1175 Complete Package. Not sure if this was supposed to be fixed:
# double/triple VirtueMart Frames after being logged out and logging back into Joomla! and going back to VirtueMart (related to Tasks #1695 and #1696, but that was a Joomla! 1.0.13 issue)
??
I haven't tested yet, have both Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.0.13, waiting for the session to expire.
I am running Joomla 1.0.13 and it timed out for me as soon as it got to the extended layout, which is default after installation. I had the login screen in the content area.
Have you patched Joomla 1.0.13 http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,200725.0.html
This seems to be fixed with the Joomla fix. Thanks :)
