I'am not completely happy with the button order too. IMHO login should be
leftmost and cancel on the opposite side. But that's a matter of taste.
I would prefer 'Login' instead of 'Ok' too, but Ok was choosen for coding
simplicity since 'OK' buttons are always default. Probably we will run
into problems with that once I18N is used on button labels.

Thought of that before. Although less beautiful in my opinion, it should
be possible - I just right now don't know how to shrink windows. Will have
a look in the wxPython documentation.
