you can actually do that with the Ubuntu version with better granularity, you can allow shotwell to access facebook but not the unity dash for example where in the GNOME version if you enable a provider you enable it for the whole desktop

in fact the Ubuntu Online Account UI was reviewed with the GNOME designers at GUADEC and their feedback was rather positive on it, the design of both might get closer, I guess you will have to start your fork if you don't like that...
