This is a very valid point actually!

I think we should do it too. Sorry for the work you have put in already
Xavier. I was using Pandion on Windows recently, and they have the same
window for creating a new account and connecting to an existing on, with
a simple check box to say either way. I think this is all we have to do
here and we could have a simple "Advanced" button for some of the other
details. 

Like Micke says, we could just have a "sign in/register" window with
account details, and then take the vbox in glade and use that in the
accounts window.
