           Summary: add a TpSimplePasswordManager or similar
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

So I basically just copy pasted haze's auth manager and channel into tp-ssip
for easy X-TELEPATHY-PASSWORD support. We should have some simple object in
tp-glib for just this.

Simon suggests the name TpSimplePasswordManager. It'll be a TpChannelManager
which you add in TpBaseConnectionClass->fill_channel_managers.

The API I suggest is:

1. a ::finished signal for notifying when done. Or, if you want, a
::got-password or something, and an ::error. It doesn't really matter.

2. tp_simple_password_manager_popup_channel to notify the manager to create a
new auth channel and let the world know about it.

That's about it. The way I've implemented it before is having the signal on the
channel itself, but seeing that the manager will only ever have one channel, we
could keep the simple auth channel out of the API and put the signal on the
manager.

What do you think about that then?
