IIUC it's because we can't know that the credentials are clear until we
open the wallet to check.

However, we could probably mitigate this by having a flag in amarokrc
file that indicates whether there are non-blank Last.fm credentials or not.

Or, store the username in amarokrc and only the password in the wallet,
and use that as the indication whether or not there are credentials.
