--- Comment #5 from Daniele E. Domenichelli <daniele.domenichelli at gmail.com> ---
This is the password dialog we are using now [1]. 
This is using KPasswordDialog and doing a few very nasty things to show the
icon [2].
And when I say nasty I mean stuff like
QHBoxLayout *box =
qobject_cast<QHBoxLayout*>(m_dialog.data()->layout()->itemAt(0)->widget()->layout()->itemAt(0)->layout());
in order to place the icon, I couldn't find a better way to do it.

I'm not an ui designer, but imho the second wastes a lot of space and has a
worst alignment.
Nonetheless we could work on KPasswordDialog to make it look prettier and to
have an extra pixmap for the account, and then use it... But it will take time
and moreover since kdelibs is frozen, we won't be able to place the icon until
kde frameworks 5 is released.

Comments?
