Yeah, it doesn't really fit in there now, but I would like to redesign this
dialog some. It's one of our first dialogs still sticking around and, ehum, I'm
not sure I really like it...

If the new account dialog allowed direct interaction with multiple accounts,
that would be great. :)

I am currently using Gossip for our work server and our personal server, and its
a bit hacky.

Allowing multiple accounts to be created, and to connect to some/all at once and
merge the rosters into a single roster, would totally rock.  Of course if there
is a single account the connect menu item shouldn't pop up any dialogs and
should just work, so for most people there is no change in behaviour.

Maybe I should file another bug/contact the list about this...

It definitely shouldn't be part of this bug and for now it's going to be punted
(probably until after 1.0) because it's a special use case and will make the UI
more complex in more places than the account settings dialog.

Martyn, this is fixed now isn't it? There is a password field in the account dialog.

That is not what Ross is asking ;) he wants a way to change your Jabber account password on the server. 

It is really simple, you request your registration details with the server and you get a key, with that key you just re-register with a different password. It is the same principle you use to set MSN nick names with the MSN transport. I need to do that too :)

Ah of course :) I'm stupid :)

OK, finally fixed this :) seems to work quite nicely too.

Should the visibility of the GtkEntry not be false, like every password input form. If I change my password, I can see the new password. Also a confirmation would be useful, to prevent a typo.
