Comment (by lewiz):
This is critical to many people in a corporate environment. I would go as
far as saying it is a show-stopper (i.e. a single-sign-on LDAP password).
Sun already ship a version of Pidgin with gnome-keyring integration in
recent Nevada builds to address these issues.
Is there any developer that can suggest what the appropriate architectural
way of implementing this support would be done? I am very willing to
spend the time working on a proper solution to this problem if I can get
an idea of exactly how best to tackle it.
I understand we do not want to *require* linking against gnome-keyring, OS
X's mechanism, etc. so some form of extended plugin must be required. Can
anybody provide more details for me to look into?
