Understood that gnome-control-centre isn't meant to be used outside GNOME. However, software-properties *is* meant to be used outside GNOME, so perhaps it should detect whether it's running in GNOME and not show a button for a GNOME-only bit of software in that situation?

This tab says "To use Livepatch, you need to sign in" and provides a "Sign In..." button. This button launches an empty version of gnome-control-center with no icons in it. If one is technically adept, it is possible to do what (I think) that button is trying to do by launching g-c-c directly in a terminal and overriding the desktop, thus: env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center online-accounts This online accounts window permits attempting to add an Ubuntu One account. However, when one tries, a window pops up with a place to add one's Ubuntu One username and password, but the window has no Submit button; there is no way to actually initiate sign in.
