 In a setup with a few IM accounts where the password is not saved
 but has to be entered by the user, pidgin first initiates the connection
 and then asks for the password ! The result is that with certain IM
 protocols (googletalk for sure) the password must be entered within 20
 seconds (quite difficult to impossible with 3-4 accounts) or else the user
 gets the message "server closed connection". Then the user must re-enable
 the account and re-enter the password.
 This bug is just about convenience (it may also disorient the user
 to think that there is another imaginary problem !). The logic implemented
 now is against usual practice of getting all the data ready before
 initiating a connection !
