For the Mir/Unity8 case, the QML system settings should be used AFAIK,
so not a problem there. The main problem here is the way online-accounts
works for communication between the control panel and the plug-in.

No, ubuntu-sso-client is using the old API. The ubiquity code was using
the new API, but I don't recall how complete it was regarding 2FA and
such.

It is not quick at all, because it requires re-implementing all the UI
of the QML plug-in, in GTK+, and it would need to be done in C, and wrap
the libubuntuoneauth library which is Qt (but doesn't provide UI). If we
could get something working, where the QML plug-in could be embedded
into the GTK+ app, it should theoretically be the smallest change, and
most maintainable.
