** Description changed:

  I am trying to export some pictures from Shotwell to my Picasa account.
  I select Picasa from the "publish" list, and push the button to
  authenticate.  I am asked for password, which I enter.  I am then told
  that "Authentication failed".  Subsequent attempts go directly to
  "Authentication failed", and there is no apparent way to enter the
  password again.
  
- Cause: I am using a non-gmail email address to log on to Google.  This
- used to work, but something - presumably Google - has changed this.
+ (I thought this was due to me logging in with a non-gmail address, and
+ it seemed to work when I changed to the gmail one, but now it fails
+ again)
  
- Suggestions:
+ Further suggestions:
  
  1) Shotwell should be more informative about the Authentication Failure,
  and report what exactly is wrong.  I thought I had mistyped the
  password, and then it's frustrating not to be offered the opportunity to
  retype it.
  
  2) The login dialog should offer a direct link or pointer to the
  accounts settings, now I need to select "Add an account" from the drop
  down.
  
  3) Incidentally, removing accounts doesn't work, in the end I had to
  disable two (non-working) instances of Google account configurations.
  
- Anyway, not exactly a bug, but hopefully a report that lets Shotwell
- become even better.
  
  Shotwell version 0.13.0-0ubuntu3, on Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.
