Ok, so KTp can only use accounts set up within KAccounts, not within Accounts-
SSO-compatible systems in general?
My - probably naive - understanding was that when I'm in GNOME and set up an
account - e.g. a Google or Jabber account - within its GUI for Accounts-SSO,
then KTp can use that account (the password being retrieved via gnome-keyring
because it's Gnome's Accounts-SSO implementation) as well because it's stored
in some cross-desktop Accounts-SSO database.
That's how I imagine cross-desktop frameworks to work, but I might be
completely off there.
