[Bug 881978] [NEW] Unable to access Accounts preferences

[Forage]

Public bug reported:

Quite often I'm unable to access the Accounts preferences. If I click on
"Edit - Accounts" no window will show up, nor do I get an error.

The file ~/.xsession-errors will contain the following errors for each
attempt:

GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `GtkWindow'
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_present_with_time: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

I can't reproduce it 100%, but it usually starts to occur when a
connection error occurred for one of the accounts and this has been
reported in the contact list accordingly.
