Re: [evolution-patches] all components, password serialisation patch

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

ok committed this (the second patch).

strictly should've waited for toshok on the smime changes, but eh, sue me.

it introduces another minor bug though, the requester isn't parented.  should probably move e-error into e-utils (where it should've been in the first place, what was i thinking) so it can use that, and its auto-parenting feature.
