 I installed the latest version of Pidgin for Windows (2.6.5) on a Windows
 7 system.  After installation I logged in using an AIM account.
 Everything looked OK on this system, but the account showed up as the
 "password" (in clear text) instead of the user id to other users (on
 different systems).  It shows the password in the buddy list and dialog
 window when messages are sent.
