Comment (by deryni):

 Those tickets do in fact cover this, the only way pidgin is going to get
 one-password-to-rule-them-all support is through the use of a real
 keyring. Unless you ticket here is asking for the ability to type in a
 password once and use that same password for multiple accounts that covers
 you, it even covers that case though it would store the password for each
 account separately. While I do see the inconvenience of needing to type
 the same password multiple times I'm not sure that this partial solution
 is really the right answer (especially because it will break horribly if
 you ever change the password for a single account, fixably broken but
 broken nonetheless).
