Comment(by dfunc):

 @ultramancool I hope you are a pidgin developer and I'm not losing my time
 here.

 Please focus on the problem.

 Once you broadcast sensitive info on DBUS, then you have *no control*
 where it goes
 or how it is being treated. You may apply a security policy on pidgin of
 not logging
 this info for example, but another application on the other end might
 choose not to
 adhere to this policy...

 If you still feel strongly about this not being an issue we can discuss it
 over e-mail.
