After installing gnome-control-center-signon (which was not installed on
the upgrade to 12.10 beta), the symptoms have changed slightly, but I am
still unable to connect to a Facebook account. The single signon dialog
within g-c-c instead gives me the error message:
An error occurred while loading the authentication page.
Once or twice when I have tried to connect, I get a message from
Facebook (via a browser) stating:
An unauthorized device recently attempted to access your account, let us
know if it was you.
…this leads me to think the failure to connect may have to do with
Facebook's device notifications feature.

Title:
Cannot connect to Facebook
Status in “account-plugins” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “gnome-control-center-signon” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
With Empathy running, I run 'empathy-accounts' from the terminal
(because the accounts dialog cannot be accessed from within Empathy or
from the Unity menu bar; I think that's a separate bug), I create a
Facebook account and enter my username and password.
When I click 'Apply', on the terminal appears:
** (empathy-accounts:4659): CRITICAL **:
identity_store_credentials_reply: assertion `priv->identity_info ==
NULL' failed
After trying to connect for about a minute, the message "Disconnected
— Authentication failed" appears in the accounts dialog.
