Saves Pidgin (and other LibPurple based) accounts passwords in KWallet (encrypted) instead of the default ~/.purple/accounts.xml (in plaintext).
Original idea and implementation (in C) can be found at http://kainaw.com/libpurple/. This plugin is implemented in Perl and uses DBus to connect to KWallet; only works with KDE SC 4.
Installation
Just copy the plugin file to the libpurple plugins directory; for the current user that is ~/.purple/plugins/.

20 Nov 2011 - bug fix - corrected typo that made the plugin useless with non-local wallets
05 Jul 2011 - bug fixes - the plugin no longer crashes when the user takes too much time entering the password; this also avoids conflicts with other applications that request access to KWallet
12 Jun 2011 - new feature - the wallet to use can be set in the plugin configure options
17 Apr 2011 - bug fix - the KWallet daemon is started if not running. Thanks to Crocket for the patch.
