Bug#361913: linphone: passwords stored world-readable

Hi,

Any ideas on an api to store password in an encrypted manner ?
The .gnome2/ tree is (as far as I understand) outdated since gconf is being 
used.
I would prefer those password to be stored encrypted by linphone itself, since 
the linphone engine is independant from gnome/kde or whatever.
