as for security of their users, the cafe's owner should make a simple script
to delete the ~/.purple directory every time new user login.
This way, the previous user login id & password (which is kept in plain xml
text) will be automatically removed. The result is, everytime new user
login, when they open pidgin, they will see a dialog to add their account.
