faithful: You're correct. There are two things to consider here, though:

1. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. all use the same Gaim package.
2. Many users synchronize their .gaim directory across machines, which may be 
running different distros or OSes. (A popular combination is Linux & Windows.) 
This means they'd need to store the passwords in clear-text anyway.

If we can come up with a way that doesn't break #2, I think it'd be
acceptable for upstream. Ubuntu has to deal with #1.
