Comment(by deryni):

 h3xstream, you missed my point. When someone hits 'Enter' to submit a
 dialog the normal result is that the dialog disappears. That cannot happen
 if there is more than one password being prompted for, or else the dialog
 will just need to re-appear instantaneously. Similarly, if we didn't
 dismiss the dialog on Enter then there would be no good indication of how
 one *should* dismiss the dialog without the mouse. All in all I think it
 would likely just be a confusing dialog and one without much gain.

 Most window managers sanely handle multiple new windows, if you get 6+
 password prompt dialogs you type into each one and hit enter in sequence,
 you shouldn't need to hunt for anything, they should all focus correctly
 in a row.

 Enabling 'remember password' is not a bad idea, it simply requires
 understanding what that means. Plus, with the recent Summer of Code work
 which will enable pidgin to use the system keyrings storing passwords will
 cease being as big of a security 'problem' and so I think this will have
 even less reason to happen to most people.
