Hi all,

As some of you may know, I'm working on a Gmail scope [1] that uses the 
online accounts Google account for authentication.  This works 
(sporadically) in RTM image 5 on the emulator, but I have been unable 
to get it to work with images 6 or 7.

Specifically, the scope creates an OnlineAccountClient and goes through 
the results of get_service_statuses() to find one that's authenticated. 
If none are found, it uses register_account_login_item() to give the 
user a button to press to get the account set up.

On images 6 and 7, the button is always shown, and pressing it always 
leads to a Google login page.  This occurs whether or not there's a 
Google account already created, and whether or not the scope is allowed 
to use this.  If the login page is filled out, another Google account 
is created in online accounts (with the scope's access enabled), but 
the scope will never use it.

I've tried restarting the scope, restarting signond, restarting unity8, 
and restarting the emulator, but the same behavior occurs time and time 
again.  Does this behavior indicated a problem in my scope?  If so, how 
do I go about debugging it?  If not, is it a known problem with online 
accounts?

Thanks,
Robert
