Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * Tried to open the OpenDesktop-Button under Online-Accounts in
SystemSettings
   * Just tried to click on it's button (of OpenDesktop).
   * ...I'd think it's self-explaining...
   * I expected to open some Login+Password window as it worked instantly and
w/o problems as it worked for own-/Nextcloud and Google-accounts.

Hi,

I think this bug report should not belong to the plasma-settings package.

As you wrote, you are using SystemSettings, which is another app: let's
think of plasma-settings as the settings app for  a mobile system, while
systemsettings is the settings app for a desktop system. On a mobile
system, both are installed due to plasma-mobile's dependencies depending
on systemsettings, but they are different packages.

As described in [1][2], both systemsettings and plasma-settings are not
responsible themselves for managing OnlineAccounts: they are just
exposing the available KCMs. In fact, I do not see the OnlineAccounts
section inside systemsettings/plasma-settings on my system, unless I
install the kaccounts-integration package.

Tbh I've no clue where this bug should be re-assigned. Looking at the
attachment inside [3] bug report, looks like some kind of browser plugin
is invoked to open the OpenDesktop login interface inside an X window...
it could be Kaccounts, it could be KCM, it could also be that the login
window does not support Wayland... have you tried launching
systemsettings from the console and check if any error message is
displayed when you try the OpenDesktop login?

Kind regards

Marco
