Comment 5 for bug 1265528

Not sure we discussed that in the past, but for such configurations where we have a gsettings key synced to accountsservice, what do we consider the canonical source/configuration? is that still gsettings? (e.g what should the phone app use)

if that's gsettings, what is responsible for updating the accountsservice side when the value change (we are adding code to ubuntu-system-settings to do it, but if the value is changed by some other way (gsettings command line, phone app itself, some third party software)?
Do we expect each "client" to have that "synchronization" code?

Note that for the desktop background case on the desktop we did patch gnome-settings-daemon/nautilus to update the service, those are services running all the time, it means the configuration tools don't need to each re-implement the sync code
