it also doesn't allow gnome-contacts to function either! when you try to add an online account it takes you to online accounts window and allows you to set up an account i.e. google after going through the various steps of authentication it just stops! it should take you back into gnome-contacts but it doesn't. when you run gnome-contacts through a terminal it shows no errors either!
i also filed this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679733 cheers ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #679733 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679733 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040193 Title: Redundant ubuntu-online-accounts and gnome-online-accounts panels using a session other than Unity Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce this, close gnome-control-center and run the following command: env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center Note that there are two Online Accounts panels: one for ubuntu-online- accounts and one for gnome-online-accounts. This is very unpleasant. These two panels claim to do the same thing, but ultimately they have nothing to do with each other. To make matters worse, the gnome-online-accounts panel doesn't appear to do much of anything by default (except probably with Evolution) since Empathy has been built to use ubuntu-online-accounts — to the extent that Empathy will open that configuration panel when the user chooses Accounts from its menu.
