--- Comment #9 from Matt Scheirer <matt.scheirer at gmail.com> ---
I just recently adopted KTP in the AUR and am having trouble with this change.
Is it really necessary to introduce superfluous envvars (I don't think any KDE
packages in Arch are shipping /etc/profile entries for anything at all, and I
don't think anyone is going to propose pushing AG_PROVIDERS and AG_SERVICES
into startkde), which means I'd have to add
/etc/profile/kaccounts-integration.sh to support these envvars. It seems like
Ubuntu should just be making kaccounts-integration and their account-pluigins
packages conflict one another. The two providers that are common between them
(twitter and google) are identical.

I'm not sure in what use case a provider or service file for accounts-sso will
be desktop specific. Is there a reason they are not in an upstream accounts-sso
project? I read all the ones Canonical provides and all the ones KDE had in the
old ktp-accounts-kcm package and besides translation names I'm not seeing whats
unique. 

Speaking of ktp-accounts-kcm, all those provider files were prefixed with
ktp-*. Maybe that would be a better answer here - just prefix KDE providers
with kde-google.provider, etc? There are only three of them right now anyway,
though now that I'm here I'm looking to port over / add more, because I'd love
to get libpurple-matrix support in KTP.

I'd have no problems poking the accounts-sso or Launchpad team behind
account-plugins for a better solution to this. From my understanding the design
of accounts-sso is entirely so that different packages could put different
providers in share/accounts/providers and have them show up in clients like
kaccounts.
