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).
