This is now fixed in svn.

I can't reproduce this in the svn code but I don't know what changes we've
made that would have fixed it.

The fix for #1 was in gnue-forms/src/GFDisplayHandler.py The standard field
handler sets the field value based upon the displayed value in beginEdit.
This doesn't work with the display is **** :) Overriding that function in
the PasswordDisplayHandler class got us around that.
One place to start learning a little about how gnue apps work in the gnue
common developers guide. It shows a few of the basic systems most gnue apps
share. The online manual is a little better than the one in the last
release and I will hopefully be adding more this week. After that it would
depend upon what parts of gnue interest you the most.
Take Care,
