Is that really where upstream AccountsService lives? Some random guy's GitHub? This was a clone of an old version. Current behavior is the same in the current version. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/tree/src/daemon.c#n155 Apparently the accountservice daemon wants to uncache the user and in doing so delete data without updating its internal reference. GNOME does the same as our user-manager but I guess it is not affected. https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-control-center/blob/f5f67823db5a629fa3ce618bc1d8b80d14f1fc59/panels/user-accounts/cc-avatar-chooser.c#L87 I did some digging but could not pinpoint the problem origin. In the meantime, I believe this diff is worth merging and might be useful for stable branch even.
