Hi
This is in continuation to bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269911

We were discussing this issue on irc, and i currently have a patch that
reconnects the account when the details are changed, but we reached a
deadlock on whether or not the account should connect automatically when
it's added by the KCM module.

According to Martin Klapetek, when a user finishes adding his/her account,
they do not realize that they have been automatically connected and thus
they stay connected without their knowledge.Whereas me and David Edmundson
think that this should be the default behavior since a user is sent back to
the KCM after adding a account, where their current status is shown and it's
only natural that the account to connect to the service as soon as one is
done adding it.

We would like to hear everyone's views on this before changing this
behavior.

Regards
Rohan Garg
