Great, I'll try it in a moment.

I was thinking about the scenario where someone was using a method which 
required
a password and then changed to gssapi. The password would stay there forever and
this may not be expected. However, I can see that the username/password fields 
are
not cleared after one changes to gssapi, so this may give a hint that they are
still stored somewhere.

So, well, I would prefer the password to be removed from the file if it's not 
used
anymore, but that's just me :)
Maybe having the ability to go back from gssapi, clear the username and 
password fields
and then switch to gssapi again is enough.
