[Bug 940573] [NEW] Empathy password popup lacks focus on input element

[Michael Born]

Public bug reported:

My scenario: I've got my regular chat account, which I don't mind saving
the password to on my own machine, and I've got my work account, which I
will NOT save the password to in Empathy.

So, every time I open up Empathy Chat, it requests a password for my
work account. I hit the plus sign, and the password window pops up.
Great, everything works - but, when I type, nothing happens because the
window is not focused on. Since the focus is not on the password window,
users will begin to type, then realize their mistake and click the
password window to select the (focused) password box. Only then can they
type.

I would mark this as a papercut if I knew how, sorry.
