Bug Description
Last.fm password is stored in plain text, and it's shown in plain text too.
Supporting gnome-keyring would be ideal for me, or alternatively, another method.
(Using pyjama 0.3.0.1)

For me in pyjama 0.3.0.1 as well as in the current development version, passwords are hidden in the config-dialog (NOT configtool, which will be removed in the next released). So I cannot tell why it isn't the case for you.
Encryption for these passwords won't come - or only as base64, rot or some other weak encoding. Why? 'cause the gnome-keyring would lock out other platforms and I don't know a platform independent solution. Other programs - like pidgin - also store passwords in plain text; there is no good reason make the user think that saved passwords are safe when they aren't actually.
If there'd be a good solution for passwords, I'd implement it asap, of course.
Thanks for reporting anyway!
