One thing, the problem with using fixed size bitmap images like these is
that you are locked into one screen resolution. (Unless you want to
rescale the images, either increases distrubution size by an order of
magnitude or gives crappy grainy dynamic rescales.)

The price (resolution lock) may be worth the result (significantly better
graphics), however.

Consider testing this with gui-fs, putting the login-stuff on the right
hand side: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/pub/freeciv/incoming/vla-22.3.jpg
