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
