This is a nice idea, placing it in the page template itself is
nicely extensible also.  Don't forget "upload/attachments".

Rather than create separate gifs for each combination, one could always 
leave the P/G/S as text on top of background images for 
edit/show/admin/attach.  This would only require four images.

I should probably add a function to PmWiki that makes it easy to
quickly determine the current password settings for any page.
Or perhaps RetrieveAuthPage can return it (that makes much more sense).
