freenode forwards your IRC server password to the nickserv.  This is a feature
of freenode, and is arguably much better than auto-identifying with the
nickserv, but sadly other servers don't do this.  Just for the sake of the
argument though, is this really better in telepathy-idle than in Empathy?  My
understanding was that telepathy-idle was mainly there for providing the
mechanisms and Empathy the interface, but the auto-identify hack makes use of
mechanisms that are already present in telepathy-idle (basically /msg).

For the record, XChat also has a separate "nickserv password" field in its
configuration, but doesn't let you specify an alternative nick for nickserv
like Konversation does.  Don't know if that is really necessary anyway.
