We don't have an application ID because the request comes from the registry, which acts on behalf of all sorts of applications.

I don't understand the need for an ID. Right now, the getAccounts() method returns me the full list of accounts. I know that I have a google-drive account, an mcloud account, etc. For each of these, I can see the id, the display name, and the service ID. Yet, the API refuses to let me see the string "Google Drive" and the icon name. Why?

All we need are three things:

- the translated provider name
- the icon name
- the dbus name

Why hide those from us?
