Comment (by deryni):
Until and unless the SoC project for the master password support becomes
usable requiring a pidgin level current password comparison adds no useful
security to this transaction, if the person is at your machine long enough
to pull up the dialog and fill it in they are at your machine long enough
to look the current password up in the accounts.xml file (unless you
aren't saving passwords at all, but even then I'm not sure this buys us
much).
