Bug Description

The default timeout for the daemon is 5 seconds. That is way too short to be useful. For example, if I want to talk to the daemon with d-feet, before I can even navigate to an interface, let along invoke a method, the daemon exits and d-feet closes the object pane.

Please make the default timeout something more reasonable. A minute seems like a good value.

5 seconds is a reasonable timeout for real-world scenarios, but indeed it's not a reasonable timeout for debugging.
Luckily, there are ways to tweak it:

1) set the OAU_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=9999 environment variable when starting online-accounts-service (which is the process which hosts the online-accounts-api)

2) echo "DaemonTimeout=9999" > ~/.config/online-accounts-service.conf

In both cases, "9999" is the new timeout, in seconds.

Changed in online-accounts-api (Ubuntu):
