Bug description:
  Impact
  -----
  Users will be unable to log in to a Google account using GNOME Online Account which is used by default in Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Budgie.

  Any other browser or service that uses webkit2gtk is similarly broken,
  such as the Epiphany browser.

  The second issue fixed here is that any user who opted in to the new
  YouTube will only get a white screen when they attempt to visit
  YouTube. The new YouTube is still opt-in now but will eventually
  become the default for everyone.

  Test Case
  ---------
  1. Install the updated webkit2gtk on Ubuntu GNOME.
  2. Restart your computer (this may be necessary because of LP: #1610944)
  3. Log in. Open Settings>Online Accounts. Remove any Google accounts already configured. Add your Google account.
  4. Install Evolution if it's not already installed and verify that your Gmail account loads.

  Optional, because the beta is closed to new entrants:
  5. Install epiphany-browser
  6. Open the Web app (epiphany-browser) and log in to your Google account.
  7. Visit https://www.google.com/new to make sure that your browser is set to use the "new YouTube."
  8. If the new YouTube only shows a white screen, this part of the bug is not fixed.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  The regression potential was limited by only cherry-picking the commits to fix these 2 high-profile issues. 2.16.2 is being rolled out to most distros now.

  Other Info
  ----------
  Fixed in 17.10 Alpha "artful" by updating to 2.16.2

  Original Bug Report
  -------------------
  With Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 (brand new 64bit install on a Dell XPS13 laptop), I cannot add a Google account using Online-Accounts. If I choose to add a new Google account in Online Accounts, a window appears where I can enter my Google email. After entering my email and pressing the Next button, a window appears where I can enter my Google password. After entering the password and pressing the Next button, an empty window appears and nothing else happens. I expected this to show something useful, and actually add the Google account to my Gnome environment.
