I'm not sure anything should automatically pop up. That has risk of being
annoying, especially if it doesn't explain the problem.

My thoughts:
 - The Accounts KCM should start automatically trying to connect you when you
make a new account (that was on a todo list somewhere) at which point this
issue becomes a lot less important (but still valid)

 - The contact list needs to display that it can't connect for /any/ issue not
just auth fails, but the server being invalid refusing connections etc. Ideally
with the same error string as appears in the accounts KCM.

 - we need to a link to load up the correct account configure. Technically I
think the contact list /could/ embed the dialog, OR we add a mechanism to the
accounts KCM to look for command line args and open the relevant dialog.

Make sure to liaise with the account KCM people.
