tefilla - Not interlacing fingers in prayer



I have heard from an unauthoritative source that one should not interlace his fingers while praying, because, l'havdil, Christians do. Is there any authoritative source for the claim that it's inappropriate to interlace one's fingers while praying (or in general)? If so, what reason is given?

I'm asking specifically about a disapproval of interlaced fingers, beyond any general disapproval of less-than-ideal hand configurations.)
