76		Move OnlineAccounts into its own process Move OnlineAccounts into its own process Create the com.canonical.OnlineAccountsUI D-Bus service, whose task is to show the Online Accounts UI when clients request it. The SystemSettings plugin for Online Accounts becomes just one of these clients. The rationale for the change is that it has been decided by design that multiple instances of Online Accounts can be running at the same time (because the Online Accounts UI will be modal to the application which invoked it), yet they need to coordinate in order to avoid the creation of the same account in two different places. Using a single process with multiple windows and exposing a D-Bus API seems to be the best approach and is also flexible enough to accomodate for most of the design changes that might pop up. It's also a proved approach, used already by signon-ui (in fact, most of the code is taken from there). . Approved by Ken VanDine, PS Jenkins bot.	Alberto Mardegan	10 years ago
