Perfect, then I'll send my patch to review. All passwords will be done this 
way, that means a password field and a combobox below it with options.

That was just actually an old example I found on my web, it has nothing to do 
with VPN :). I just wanted to show you how it was at the begenning, that you 
had a password field and combobox next to it. Btw. you really want to have 
options for both password separately, e.g in my case of RedHat VPNC I store 
the group password and let NM ask everytime for the user password, as it is 
different every time using OTP key.
