Hi.
Don't know if you already have something like a string freeze, but as a user I
find the buttons in the account-setup dialog very confusing, I almost always
get the "Save" and "Close" buttons wrong. "Save" doesn't actually "Save"
anything, but it Saves _and_ Closes, while "Close" does not "save". The
classic captions for those kinds of buttons would be "Ok" and "Cancel", which
almost everybody already knows from windows, and are very precise in their
semantics.
The current captions tend to be confused with Apples/Gnomes UI Philosophy,
where _closing_ a dialog IIRC implies saving the changes (which are actually
supposed to already be applied by the time you make them)
