Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pidgin

After upgrading to Gutsy I've discovered that I can no longer log into
our internal corporate Jabber IM solution.  After some debugging it
seemed to be an issue with Pidgin rather than with my account (gossip
works fine).

This issue was reported to Pidgin.im directly by someone else, but I
haven't been able to reproduce the bug with either 2.2.1 or 2.2.2
compiled from source.  The issue either has to be with a Ubuntu patch or
specific compile time option.

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3552

Running in Debug mode, here is what I see if I type in the password.
Note the blank password field.

(10:58:23) jabber: Recv (ssl)(130): <iq id='purple7fd9fb8c' 
type='result'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>gboyce</username><password/><resource/></query></iq>
(10:58:23) jabber: Sending (ssl): <iq type='set' id='purple7fd9fb8d'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>gboyce</username><resource>Home</resource><password/></query></iq>
(10:58:23) jabber: Recv (ssl)(141): <iq id='purple7fd9fb8d' type='error'><error 
code='401' type='auth'><not-authorized 
xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error></iq>

If I allow pidgin to save the password in the application, here is what
I get.  The password is actually sent now (sanitized)

(10:58:51) jabber: Recv (ssl)(130): <iq id='purple929ab048' 
type='result'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>gboyce</username><password/><resource/></query></iq>
(10:58:51) jabber: Sending (ssl): <iq type='set' id='purple929ab049'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>gboyce</username><resource>Home</resource><password>MYPASSWORD</password></query></iq>
(10:58:51) jabber: Recv (ssl)(39): <iq id='purple929ab049' type='result'/>
