Bug Description

I'm not sure if i should not raise more bug reports about it, but i think it is one big issue with the login window in the metaserver:

First:
- enter nick
- enter wrong password
--> you're redirected into the Metaserver Lobby but with an error message inmidst other text - not good, especially you try it 2, 3 times you really have to search for it!

Wish: If the nick exists and password is wrong do not redirect into the Lobby, just stay/reload the login window

Second:
You entered the wrong password, you get noticed about it, okay, so lets go back to the login window.
--> clicking on "Back" and you find yourself in the menu "Internet" or "LAN" where you have to choose again what you wanna play - not so elegant and nice

Wish: the login window for "Internet" game should open up itself to avoid clicking again

Third:
Now, the login window comes up with nick and password as it was typed wrong.

Wish: the password box in the login window should be blank to allow instand typing the password again

I think we should generally visit the control flow for the multiplayer setup. "Back" buttons can sometimes kick you out all the way to the start instead of the previous window.

Great to have you back :)

We now have some new translation gimmicks - pgettext to give strings more context and allow separate translations, and translators comments. I have added them to your new localized string in r7612.

Nasenbaer, we have established a new tradition while you were gone: we do code reviews for larger changes, i.e. also core members suggest branches for merging.

That showed to be very beneficial: it distributes knowledge and style throughout the team, so that others can understand also code they did not work on, but only reviewed. It also keeps a trail of discussion around code around to dig through to understand the history of decisions. It also helps spotting errors and suggesting other ways of approaching a problem.

Code reviews are not enforced, but I would appreciate you trying them out :).
