I have played around a bit with AccountsService (not being a GNOME user I had not tried it before), and have a couple of questions: 1) Is the storage format documented anywhere? Is it meant only to be internal to AccountsService, or could other services in principle use the config files directly? 3) How do you deal with user accounts being accessed from different machines? Assuming /home is shared and /var is not, I'm struggling to see how storing user-config in /var can work (though I could not find any documentation, so it is entirely possible I'm missing something obvious).
