Bug#503618: kopete: password fields do not accept pasting

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Package: kopete
Version: 4:3.5.9-4
Severity: normal

To create passwords I prefer to use pwgen and then paste them into the programs
that need them.  In the case of Jabber that means pasting it into the server
and the client.  Kopete does not well support this because it disables paste
for both entering a password in the configuration, and for registering an
account.

I believe that rejecting a pasted password encourages users to use shorter
passwords and therefore decreases security.
