add "password entry dialog" to osso-xterm

Reported by: nygren@mit.edu Assigned to: inz@inz.fi
Priority: normal Component: osso-xterm
Version: Severity: normal
Keywords: password dialog Cc: asedeno@mit.edu, erik@nygren.org

Description

It should be easy to enter a password into osso-xterm without the password ending up in the input history. Attached is a patch that adds a "Terminal->Enter Password..." menu item which launches a dialog for entering a password. The password is then sent to the active window, along with a newline.

Possible enhancements not in this patch: 1) Keep the input entry area open (popping up the dialog closes it until

the user clicks in the text area).

2) Make the newline after the password configurable (although I think it's desired 99% of the time) 3) Put a button in the toolbar to pop up this dialog
