Very nasty, gritty workaround to get facebook working:
Please be careful when mucking about with program source files - this
should be OK, but try it at your won risk, carefully. And backup files
before editing!
1: log in, and authenticate - pressing add will still crash the program
2. quit gwibber
3: (backup and) edit
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/lib/gtk/facebook.py, and comment out
(put a "#" without the quotes) line 83 ("req_perms":
"publish_stream,read_stream,status_update,offline_access")
4.save
5. optional - may not be necessary: (backup elsewhere and) delete facebook.pyc
6. add acount again, and authorise
with any luck this will work - afterwards you should probably uncomment
the line you commented out (remove the hash)
The bug itself seems to be a problem with how facebook connect works for
authentication - I'll investigate further and try and write a patch
