To make KAccounts/libaccounts actually read those from
the new locations, two new env variables will be needed:

AG_PROVIDERS=/path/to/providers
AG_SERVICES=/path/to/services

So please make sure you add them to your systems.
Distro people - please make sure this is set in Plasma
sessions (and ideally in Plasma sessions only).


Should we add them to startkde and startplasma?

I just wonder whether it is some work for startkde or something to be
installed under /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/ . If so maybe add a
file to kaccounts and install it under /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/
then you won't need to bother packagers to figure out how to make it
work.
