Thanks Steffen. I'm really close to giving my +1 on testing but I've got 
one more outstanding question.

The info box looks really nice and seems intuitive for someone working 
on the site. However, when a user starts to log in and the backend is 
already locked, they log in with no indication that the backend is 
locked. After their login is processed, they get the white screen with 
the die() message that tells them the backend is locked. Before this 
patch, the die() message appeared as soon as /typo3/ was visited and not 
after login.

If we're going to use the die() message, then it seems like that should 
happen before login.  If we let the user login, then we should use the 
ExtJS modal box.

I'm sure there are some technical considerations for why this needs to 
be the behavior, but I just wanted to ask to be sure :)  If it can't be 
changed, then I'll go ahead and give my +1 on testing.

Thanks!
Jeff
