Good point. Right now the dialog resizes itself. But not that heavily since CMIS subtypes (which we 
want to up-level) are treated all the same. This leads to the fact that Google Drive gets a 
'repository' entry (with no functionality), a 'binding url' (containing the fix link), and a 'path' 
(no relevance). 
So we have three options: 
a1) introduce a wizard-like workflow, as you suggesta2) we can also make the type selection as a 
required step when a server is being added; that means the add menu button lists all types and you 
have to select which one you would like to add. This means also that we have to care about the 
additonal functionality to edit and delete a service.
b) have a lot of white space in some casesc) resize the dialog depending on the type
