This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Minor Feature

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12779

Branches:
trunk

Problem:
If a user likes to login via OpenID, he has to click "Switch to OpenID" first, to get the the right 
login form. He needs to do this every time he wants to log in, which is avoidable pain.

Solution:
Save the user's choice in a cookie and check for it via JS on opening the login page.

Notes:
Steffen Kamper pointed out that nobody needs to click on "Switch to OpenID", because you can also 
just paste your OpenID Identifier to the username field.
This might be right, but then the divisiion between conventional und openid login does not make any 
sense. Usability is especially important for newbies who don't know about those tricks.

Kind regards,
Sebastian Gebhard
