> If there are some common files that can be shared between the two
implementations, we could create an account-plugins-common package,
which could be used by both. If the maintainers of kaccounts-providers
think that this is the case, let them comment here.

The problem with this is client keys and client secrets. We could
possibly supply these at runtime from some place else (like from ubuntu-
online-accounts), but that just recreates the libaccounts elsewhere.

The actual problem is AppArmor and similar things, because mission-
control-5 is restricted. With the new file locations the accounts-sso
plugins just doesn't work as it gets blocked access to the
provider/service files and libaccounts-glib just returns empty accounts
list.

This requires shipping AppArmor and similar config files (simply telling
distros you need to include this patch is _not_ going to work; speaking
from experience).

Imho the best solution would be to have a filtering on libaccounts-glib
level. The providers could have a "<showOnlyIn>kde"</showOnlyIn>. That
way all those files could live in the same dir with prefixed filenames
and libaccounts-glib would always return the correct list.
