Four accounts distinguished only by a line of small grey text are four rows that
have to be read rather than recognised. GOA already knows what each one is.
It hands back a serialised GThemedIcon -- ". GThemedIcon goa-account-google
goa-account goa …" -- a preference-ordered fallback chain. The helper passes the
whole chain on rather than resolving it, because which of those names exists is
a property of the icon theme in use and not something a python script talking to
D-Bus should be deciding.
The page walks the chain and takes the first name the active theme actually has.
Both simpler readings were wrong and looked right: taking the first name blindly
assumes it resolves, and taking the last as a fallback assumes the most generic
name is the most likely to exist. On Adwaita the tails of these very chains --
"mail", "goa-symbolic" -- do not exist at all, so a miss would have drawn
nothing. Checked by asking Quickshell.iconPath directly, which returns empty for
a name the theme lacks; the fallback is avatar-default-symbolic, which is
present.
SettingsCard grew an optional icon for this. It is empty by default and the
header lays out exactly as before when unset, so no other card moves.
Last-sync is not here because there is nothing to show: GOA exposes no
sync-related property at all, on any of these accounts. Better to say so than to
invent a timestamp from when the page last refreshed.
