0.17+17.10.20170606-0ubuntu1 in Artful & Bionic crash when trying to use
KDE systemsettings to add a google account

"There was an error while trying to process the request:
userActionFinished error: 2"

This results in no Google account be added.

This appears to be the result of changes implemented for Unity.

A WIP solution is discussed in the reported issue upstream:

https://gitlab.com/accounts-sso/signon-ui/issues/1

However, that solution requires KDE upstream to adapt it's Kaccounts
KCM.

As KDE is now the only user of signon-ui (Unity dropping it's use) in
Artful and abovea temporary solution is to revert to the last working
version 0.17+17.04.20161109-0ubuntu1

This has been built here:

https://launchpad.net/~rikmills/+archive/ubuntu/kio-grive

and tested successfully, allowing the the addition of Google accounts,
and the use of kio-gdrive to access google drive from Dolphin file
manager.
