Actually I would like it to be just like user login window of OS X.
This could also go for a so called Splash Screen on app launch.

I don't really mind splash screens, although I find them to be
pointless. However, if your splash screen does not go into the
background when I click on another app while waiting for your app to

You shouldn't always show a log-in panel in your application either;
Mac OS X has the Keychain for secure storage of user credentials, you
should only ask the user to log in to your service if there's no
stored credential or they've done something like reset their password.
