[sldev] Patch to Address Debit Permission Spoofing

[Nicholaz Beresford]

I'm not sure if the white is necessary, but with added visual weight
of the requester I think at least the first line will be read by the user
(and those who don't do that, can't really be helped).

I wasn't sure what the buttons are called, but I like the idea very much
to put some of the context into the button, because the buttons need
to be read.

So maybe:

An object wants to be allowed to take money (L$) from your account.
-- 
yada yada yada
-- 

[Grant permission to debit] [Deny permission to debit]
