--- Comment #19 from Matt Scheirer <matt.scheirer at gmail.com> ---
If Ubuntu wants their "critical" bug fixed, they make kaccounts-providers
conflict with account-plugins. The fact they are refusing to do so is insane,
because the whole reason this is a problem in the first place is that apps
using accounts-sso will produce duplicate account configuration options if we
have duplicates in the profiles dir.

This is the most "not KDE's problem" of any problem ever. We're using an Intel
framework for accounts management the way it is intended, as are Canonical, and
by design when two messaging providers provide the same service they should
conflict one another rather than provide redundant entries that mess up the
GUIs.

How is the practicality of adding a KDE specific tag to our provider files and
then renaming them with a prefix? I can go dig into the kaccounts-integration
code and see if its possible. That doesn't solve the implementation and design
problem around accounts-sso that a user of accounts should be loading all the
providers it finds to allow third parties to provide account support, but I'm
pretty sure we all know nobody is ever going to do that with the state
accounts-sso and telepathy are in.
