Troubleshooting:

BUGS

The new user experience sucks; it gives no hints about what this UI does, or how to add a new account. (Also see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654193 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658139 )

Why does it crash when I click Add and there is no network connection?

Accessibility?

OAUTH window has scroll bars!
