I think first thing we should do is to move all the painting
code to the UIDelegate, the current one creates only the
banner which is clearly not enough.
Once this is done we can just wait for Kirill, Wolfgang and
others to unleash their creativity 

As for making it look like native pasword dialog, I would be
careful with this. I've seen users getting confused (and
getting suspicious) when application login looks too much
like their windows system login. (plus my current gnome
login dialog is just plain ugly, I wouldn't go for that one
even if I could ;) )

Thx.

P.S.: There is one more thing - this warning should be
localized as well as rest of the login dialog ... so if
anyone can translate "CapsLock key is currently
ON" to spanish, french, swedish, czech, italian and
portugese it would be helpful. 
BTW, Karl & Jeanette, is there any reason why we don't
have german bundle yet? ;) (sorry couldn't resist)
