Any chance we can get a line added to the HIG "Text Entry Fields"
Guidelines that says something like:
* A text entry that is used for requesting a password from the user
should hide the contents of the entry by using a black circle (Unicode
0x25cf) for each character. Example:
gtk_entry_set_visibility (entry, FALSE);
gtk_entry_set_invisible_char (entry, 0x25cf);
...
This seems like something that should Just Work in GTK (that is, black
dots should be the *default* character in a password field), and that
should therefore be out of scope of the HIG.
