Do you care about this > use-case as an upstream? I wonder whether by "Online Accounts" they meant GNOME Online Accounts (GOA) or Ubuntu Online Accounts (UOA). The former should indeed be visible in g-c-c without special support from our side; the latter is currently visible as well in GNOME, causing two "Online Accounts" applet to appear in the control center (bug 1040193). Do we want to continue showing it there as well? I would prefer if the Ubuntu GNOME session were as close as possible to upstream, meaning that it would be fine for me if UOA was not appearing in the GNOME control center. However, this would need at least two things to happen first: - If built with UOA support (as it is in Ubuntu), Empathy currently opens the UOA panel when asked to configure accounts; we should probably change that to a run-time decision, maybe based on the contents of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. - Ubuntu's Shotwell build is tightly integrated with UOA, and in order to publish on Facebook, Flickr or Picasa you need to have a corresponding account setup in UOA. We should fix this by submitting our patches upstream, and rework them so that the decision to use UOA can happen at runtime. Unfortunately this could take several days of work, and I'm afraid I don't have this time... :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface. So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed. A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).
