The input panel is centered with the following logic:
* The grid starts in the center of the screen so that the grid doesn't look uneven at the edge of the screen.
* The input panel is placed as vertically as it can while still aligning it to the grid (on my 1366x768 screen there are 19 rows so the panel aligns exactly. On other resolutions there might be an even number of rows which will cause the panel to have to be slightly above or below the center line).
* The panel is assumed to be three rows high (which is what it was only allowed to be in the past). In the case of the remote login box (and other cases) this panel needs four rows high. So in my case the remote login panel is not centered anymore (it has 7 rows below and 8 above) and this again will vary for differing resolutions.
What resolution are you using and can you measure the grid spacing in your case?
