Thanks for the response, Seb. I guess the real bug here then is in
populating the dialog box to be more intuitive that an account needs to
be added.

I think this uncovers a design issue in Ubuntu. We now have three
different ways of configuring user accounts:

 * Messaging and VoIP Accounts - Empathy accounts.
 * Online Accounts - Evolution / Empathy.
 * User Accounts - system accounts.

We also have Broadcast Accounts available to be configured in Gwibber,
but this is not exposed in the System Settings and Email can't be
configured outside of apps (e.g. Thunderbird).

Title:
  Online Accounts capplet has no accounts listed

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As you can see in the attached screenshot, there are no accounts
  listed in the Online Accounts part of the GNOME Control Center shipped
  in Oneiric. I currently have a number of Chat and Gwibber accounts set
  up and working well, so those accounts should be visible. When I try
  to add an account by clicking the + button it only shows Google as a
  provider.
