New submission from Sascha Wilde <wilde at intevation.de>:

When logging in with wrong credentials (as non existent user or wrong
password) it takes a loooooong time[0] and then the login mask is
reloaded -- no error message.

The second part is the Problem, the user should be informed that the
login was invalid.

This problem is new and presumably related to the switch to imp
login.

[0] Which is ok, IMO as it protects against brute force attacks.
