As I predicted, the bug is still there, and is causing incredible
confusion due to its randomness.

To everyone posting "fixes": they aren't really fixes. What's happening
is that Facebook is randomly denying requests from Gwibber, because it
is generating too many of them (according to Facebook). When you add a
new Facebook account, the Add button only appears after Gwibber has
received the authentication token from Facebook, but if that request
happens to fail, it never appears. It will start working again at some
random point in the future, and if that happens to be right after you
have tried something to fix it, it will seem as though the fix worked...

One reason that this is so confusing is that Gwibber fails silently.
There is no indication whatsoever that a request has failed, which is
especially annoying in this case, or when the request was a new post,
which will then fail to appear on your Facebook page without any
indication from Gwibber that something went wrong. This is something
that badly needs to be fixed. If something went wrong, Gwibber should
tell you about it (like it used to do in the previous version).

The story that was put out was that once enough people were using the
new version the problems would go away, and that therefore the bug was
fixed. It is now quite obvious that the problems have *not* gone away,
and that the bug is therefore *not* fixed. It would be quite nice if the
developers of Gwibber would acknowledge this.
