password escaping when saving changes password

[Markus Barth]

Binary package hint: empathy

one special case, didn't test others:
password: \\text
login, save, restart
login fails, password is one char short.
when adding a leading \ it's working again, so
password in password field was: \text

seems like it's escaped when saving but not escaped when loading or there's a condition with double backslahes.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
