#4670: password written in clear in purple xml files
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  backslash  |       Type:  defect

-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 When using the http proxy, its password is displayed in clear in files
 ~/.purple/accounts.xml and  ~/.purple/prefs.xml

 e.g in accounts.xml I have
 {{{
                 <proxy>
                         <type>http</type>
                         <host>myhttphost.name.com</host>
                         <port>1234</port>
                         <username>my_username</username>
                         <password>my_password</password>
                 </proxy>
 }}}

 it should be better to have it encoded
