Comment(by deryni):

 Checking the title of a window is not at all a good way of determining
 whether the window is in fact the correct place to insert a password, as
 the title of a window is entirely up to the client.

 The need for a password manager hack like the window detection used by
 KeePass is something that there is work being done to make unnecessary.
 There is work being done to allow for pidgin to support correctly
 integrating with desktop keyrings (Gnome, KDE, etc.) which, if KeePass has
 an API could likely also be extended to use KeePass in a useful secure
 manner. There isn't a date for completion of that work, though if I recall
 correctly it just needed some final going over and clean up.
