OK. But there is not an emptypanel method anywhere in the toolkit.
I've added the icon to the panel [2] in the same spirit as emptypanel
in Read and ImageViewer, but I didn't use your code as (1) it is
overly complicated for this purpose, e.g., I don't need an add button;
and (2) we are migrating over to the use of Gtk.Grid.

I do have one outstanding concern regarding my patch: when I added the
webservices extension, I neglected to add a public method for getting
the service name. Right now, I have this helper method:

def get_service_name(service):
    if hasattr(service, '_account'):
        return service._account.get_description()
    return ''

I could hide some of this in src/jarabe/webservices/accountsmanager.py
but I am wondering if anyone has a better idea?

regards.
