Comment (by nix_nix):

 Doesn't Pidgin have a feature whereby new conversation windows "pop under"
 and then set the URGENT hint? The password dialogs could pop likewise.
 There /is/ a caveat, however: If they pop under, they pop under
 /everything/. Ideally, the first password dialog should come on top, and
 the rest should pop under it, but no other windows. That's a tall order.

 Of course, a nice, albeit risky maneuver would be to accumulate all the
 pidgin_request_field groups required by all the accounts, and present them
 in one giant pidgin_request_fields() dialog. Then the user could simply
 tab down through the list, typing in each password. Of course, with a
 great enough number of accounts, this dialog would become taller than the
 screen. OTOH, if we stick it all in a GtkScrolledWindow, it would be
 rendered tiny, unless we impose some minimum size request on it.
