Quite sure actually.

 wxPanel *panel = new wxPanel(this,wxID_ANY);

   panel->SetBackgroundColour(GetBackgroundColour());
   panel->SetForegroundColour(GetForegroundColour());

   wxBoxSizer *topSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL);
   wxFlexGridSizer *loginSizer = new wxFlexGridSizer(2,2,0,0);

   wxStaticText *text_help = new wxStaticText(panel,wxID_ANY,_("Please enter 
your username and password\nand press Login to login.\n\nIf you do not have 
an account...\n$

   wxStaticText *text_username = new 
wxStaticText(panel,wxID_ANY,_("Username"));
   wxStaticText *text_password = new 
wxStaticText(panel,wxID_ANY,_("Password"));

   ctrl_username = new wxTextCtrl(panel,wxID_ANY,_T("svearike"));
   ctrl_password = new 
wxTextCtrl(panel,wxID_ANY,_T("..."),wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,wxTE_PASSWORD);
   button_login = new 
wxButton(panel,LOGIN_BUTTON_ID,_("Login"),wxDefaultPosition,wxDefaultSize,wxBU_EXACTFIT);

button_login is the one that gets the ugly border.
am I missing something?
