Ok!

I've solved the blinking button, I've also added a sausalito look to the
login-page. I've got two minor issues left. 

First issue:
As the admin-user you won't be able to log out of phpmyadmin, you will
be thrown back in again if you click on the logout link in phpmyadmin.
Is this behavior desirable? If not, what should happend?

Second issue:
Now that phpmyadmin is integrated into sausalito, what should happen
with the link /phpmyadmin? As it is it doesn't work. I might find a way
to fix it but I don't know, because the login/signon is tied to the GUI
which means sausalito should be fully enabled for it to work and the
user should be logged in. We could always tie /phpmyadmin to /login and
force the user to log in to the system before being able to access
phpmyadmin?
