right now the user has to wait until paint has opened, and then go first to the login menu item, and then again to the open menu item. All of this is unnecessary work. This can be improved in two ways. First when paint is first initialized it can immediately bring up the login dialog. There is no sense in making the user go through the extra step of selecting a menu item when they can't do anything useful without first logging in. If they are offline, that can be automatically detected and the login dialog box omitted.
Likewise if the user selects "open" from the menu and they are not yet logged in then they should first be automatically given the chance to login and then proceed to the open dialog.
In other words we can get rid of the "login" menu item entirely simply by making this part of the open routine. And the open can be made smarter, so that rather then two menu items (one for files and one for the database) it can all be done from a single more sophisticated dialog.
