I tested with 9.1RC2. You still have problems with localization. With the 
German localization the textfields still go beyond the right border.  
The Button "Weiter" ist still partly cut off.  
  
Am I spoiled by Swing or dont you know how to make gui elements fit  
dynamically when localized? You give the impression... Give the labels left of  
the textfields as much space as they need after the localized strings have  
been applied and give all the rest of the space to the textfields.  
  
Make buttons only as wide as they need to be after the localized strings have  
been applied. Then you dont waste space on one button you could need for the  
other.  
  
I'm sorry for been such a pest, albeit I try to be a good-natured one. I'm 
also sorry for sounding a bit harsh but I expect a higher software quality 
from a "Release candidate". Looking at your slow progress is a bit 
frustrating.  
I18N & L10N of a GUI is simple if it is done right. Please dont suck :-)

I tested MDK-9.1rc1 and when adding users I found serious layout problems. 
The textfields go beyond the right border. 
The button "Accept user" is cut off half. 
The button "Done" is not visible at all. The faint hearted would not have used 
the TAB key and got stuck there... 
 
PS: I used the SwissGerman locale. 
 
Use always dynamic layouts if possible. If this is not possible, your toolkit 
sucks. Throw it away. Use something real.
