OK, this problem was present in quite a few of the modules. The text was
set to visible so the invisible "●" character wasn't being displayed.

This patch corrects all of the instances where this happens in a
password field.

On the gmail module, the password field had * as an invisble character.
This patch also changes it to the proper "●" character.

** Attachment added: "Fix password fields and use ● as gmails invisible 
character"
   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14591676/conduit.patch

** Summary changed:

- Picasa provider password field does not mask password characters
+ Conduit password fields not masked

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: conduit
  
- The Picasa provider has a "Password" field, but it shows characters in
- plain text rather than with '*' or other masking. Anyone looking at my
- screen could gain access to my picasa/gmail account.
+ Many of the conduit modules show the password as it is being entered,
+ because the gtk entry widget has its text set to visible.

** Tags added: patch
