I'm still not sure what you're getting at...? If you set it up on Gnome
using Gnome UI for Accounts-SSO, the password will be stored in Gnome
keyring. The account would exist in Plasma, yes, but you would not have the
password available unless you'd run the Gnome keyring. Same goes the other
way around, KAccounts will store the password in KWallet, so unless you run
KWallet in Gnome, that KTp account won't work there.
