Bug Description

When using gnome-online-accounts + wayland.

When tshooting [LP1610944](https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610944) I noticed that you can't add a google account that utilizes customizations from [Google's Identity Platform](https://developers.google.com/identity/). This is used by many Google Apps for Work systems (including mine). This however does work on gnome with X. I believe this is a wayland specific issue.

Unfortunately, GNOME Online Accounts will not work if you log out and then log back in. You have to completely reboot. Yes, that is a very bad bug.

Could you test if you still have problems with GNOME Online Accounts immediately after rebooting?

@Jeremy Two things,

The issue of using the accounts with google identity platform seems to be fixed (latest 16.10 patches). Not sure when that fix went in but I tried it in testing.

Your workaround for rebooting to make online accounts work does work. I'm able to confirm that you need to reboot to get online accounts to accept an added credential. Is there a subsystem that I can restart to just "make it work"? Like what if I HUP gnome?

Additionally, I'll be installing 17.04 in the coming weeks so I'll be able to try and confirm if this is the case in that version too.

I'm closing this bug since it seems to be a duplicate of bug 1610944 and bug 1687019 and doesn't really have anything to do with GNOME on Wayland.
