I gave it another try. The appended patch dosn't add the password icon
to mode-line-format, but to global-mode-string. By this, we don't bother
to find the corresponding window to a given minibuffer.

This doesn't solve the problem of cascaded password input, but that's
another game.

WDYT?

>> Thanks, martin

Best regards, Michael.
