Yeah, that definitely sounds like the sanest approach.

Hm, that doesn't seem generic enough. Remember, the server can present
you with *arbitrary* forms to fill in. Some text input boxes are marked
as 'text' and some are marked as 'password' but there can be any number
of each. Just because it's *common* to have a single username and a
single password entry, that doesn't mean it's all we have to cope with.

See how the non-password entries are saved in gconf with under a key
named 'form:$AUTH_ID:$OPT_NAME'? We want something similar for password
entries, I think -- so it can save *any* of the text boxes, not just
one.

Or am I misreading your patch?
