Description of problem: In gnome-control-center under online accounts, when clicking an already existing account, like my Google account, no pop up window is shown to allow me to enable or disable specific sync settings. No crash is seen, but on looking at the journal, I see that each time I click on the account, eg. Google, there's an entry in the journal that says: gnome-control-c[86961]: Failed to create foreign window for XID 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-control-center-42~rc-1.fc36.x86_64 gnome-shell-42~rc-2.fc36.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to Gnome using X 2. Go to online accounts in gnome-control-center 3. Click on a pre-existing account to change some sync settings Actual results: Pop up showing sync settings does not appear Expected results: Pop up showing sync settings should appear Additional info: I also created a new account and see the same behaviour there also. This does not seem to happen when using Wayland, so it seems to be something X specific.
Could someone take a look at this please? It makes the online accounts bit pretty useless...
Fixed upstream now: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1272/diffs
Proposed as a Blocker and Freeze Exception for 36-final by Fedora user ankursinha using the blocker tracking app because: Users on X will not be able to use Gnome Online accounts at all. This includes most Nvidia users (even though it can do Wayland, it seems to work better on X), or anyone using a platform like Zoom or Anydesk for work neither of which support Wayland yet. A fix is available already, but has not made it's way into Fedora yet.
