Package: pidgin
Version: 2.4.3-2
Severity: normal

Each time I start pidgin I have to send passwords to several servers in order 
to authenticate myself. The emergent windows that appear for the password to be 
introduced in them came in random 
order, depending on the order in which the handshaking with servers do actually 
happen each time. That is no uncorrect behaviour, but a fixed order for active 
accounts would be better. But the 
problem is that this behaviour causes that the windows appear while one is 
writing his password in other window, and since they're all windows that steal 
the focus it is very normal that you wrote 
the last letters of the password in the wrong window and striking enter, 
causing uncorrect password to be sent to these servers and, worse as it can be, 
these server receiving clues about your 
passwords on other servers.
