GtkEntryBuffer as a 'secure' entry

[Stef Walter <stef-list memberwebs com>]

I've been working on a GTK+ feature I think that seahorse, gnome-keyring
and other 'security' applications can use:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.17/GtkEntryBuffer.html

GtkEntryBuffer is like a model for a GtkEntry. It allows us to to store
a prompted for password in non-pageable memory. It'll allow us to get
rid of the 'secure entry' code in seahorse and gnome-keyring,
krb5-auth-dialog and other places in GNOME.

It'll be in GTK+ 2.18. I guess we should wait until 2.18 is released
before depending on this new feature?

Cheers,

Stef
