Comment:

 There was a SoC project in 2008 to add support for master password
 backends (integrating with, I believe, initially Gnome Keyring and
 possibly KWallet(?)). See
 http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/branch/shortchanges/im.pidgin.soc.2008.masterpassword
 for details.

 The code hasn't been integrated yet because there are a few remaining
 details and, I think, we're aiming for 3.0.0 (presumably to just drop
 `purple_account_get_password`).
