If you're still aiming at Karmic, an elegant solution is not really possible IMO. I'd sheerly copy/paste the code from gnome-about-me for the password dialog. Then, you can just adapt it so that when changing the password of the current user (see OobsSelfConfig), we ask for the old one, and use gnome-about-me's code instead of committing a password change using the stb. Emptying the entries will be anough for that, since we just take these from user_settings_get_user_data(), and the backends don't change the password when we send them an empty one.
Sure, that's ugly, but I don't think you can expect a better design in that timeframe...
