Public bug reported:

Hi,

I am a novice Linux user playing around with Ubuntu.  I first installed
14.04 and then upgraded to 14.10 but have observed the same problem with
gnome-contacts on both.  I added Google to my online accounts list and
it seemed to work.  I launched gnome-contacts ("Contacts" on Ubuntu) and
it opened a window with two buttons: "Online Accounts" or "Use Local
Address Book".  Of course I want to use my online accounts.  But no
matter how much I click this button nothing happens.  The button is
responsive--it depresses/shades when I click it.  But then nothing
happens.

Clicking "Use Local Address Book" does work.  But of course that doesn't
get me to my Google contact list.  What tests can I perform to further
diagnose this problem?
