Comment:

 Using the title to detect anything about a window is a hack, it should not
 be done. Changing things specifically to support such a hack (pejorative
 usage) is not something I think is a good idea, especially when work
 already exists (and just needs finishing) to support secure saving of
 passwords in an appropriate and correct manner.

 Hacking (non-pejorative usage) on libpurple to make it support pluggable
 keychains is a good thing, and something that will even work with KeePass
 (without the need for an extra keypress) assuming KeePass is reasonable
 enough to have a programming interface.
