Description Georges Dupéron 2018-04-27 18:53:50 UTC
Created attachment 112288 [details]
Screenshot showing two accounts, the "configure" button which does not work, and the empty accounts / contacts list in the plasma tile

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a new unix user account named georges-kde5, using the default /etc/skel (nothing interesting in that)
2) sudo mkdir -p /home/georges-kde5/Documents/git/my/config-private-dot.config && sudo chown -R georges-kde5:georges-kde5 /home/georges-kde5
3) In /etc/environment add:
   XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/home/georges-kde5/Documents/git/my/config-private-dot.config"
4) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the X server (just in case)
5) Log into a KDE5 session
6) Click the telepathy systray/plasma icon, click "configure now"
7) Add a new Google (or Jabber) account, login in the web window and accept the permissions
8) The account seems to be created, is listed in the configuration dialog, but the systray/plasma tile stays empty with a "configure now" button. Also, when clicking on "configure" next to a service (e.g. "Google Hangouts"), nothing happens

If I skip steps 2 & 3 (after deleting all files in ~georges-kde5 and copying back /etc/skel), then everything works fine (I can see contacts in the systray/plasma tile, and the "configure" button works).

Note that this issue may be releated to KWalletManager5 ?

Version: Telepathy 1:5.16.3-1ubuntu6 for KDE5 on Xubuntu 16.04 (after installin the "kubuntu-desktop" package).
