 Since my Google Talk account is connected with my e-mail, I don't have the
 password saved. I've noticed that if I wait to enter the password, though,
 I get an error meassage in the Buddy List. It says

 [my e-mail address]/Home disconnected
 [[BR]]
 Read Error

 Of course it can't connect. I haven't entered my password; the window for
 entering it is still on the screen waiting for input. Shouldn't the client
 delay trying to connect until I enter my password?

 Also, if I type in the password after getting the message and hit Okay, it
 doesn't connect. Instead, it asks for my password again either when I hit
 Reconnect in the error message or wait for it to try to auto-reconnect.

 I don't have any trouble connecting if I enter the password quickly
 enough.

 This doesn't happen in any other client that I'm aware of, though I can't
 be certain. I only use XMPP (Google Talk), AIM, and MSN, and AIM is the
 only other one I don't have the password saved on.

 Addition:
 I've just tested and this problem still exists in 2.5.8.
