What might be a problem here is that users might have difficulties finding the regular Add Account button afterwards because they keep looking for it somewhere in the accounts list. With QML, we could just put a big red arrow pointing to the button in there instead of the duplicate button, but it might be difficult with widgets...

Then move the buttons to the top and make them bigger. And finally, when/if there's no account, hide the controls that are not needed (the buttons on the top for adding/removing an account) and leave only the one button in the central widget.

Actually exactly what Kai B. is proposing below...I should have read it first, sorry :D
