    It may be that you did not grant all of the permissions it was asking for when you logged in. Try choosing "Unauthorize" from the menu and then click refresh and log in again. It may ask you to approve some permissions. You can also remove the application within facebook and then log back in through the app and select the permissions again. If that is not the problem, let me know (I don't see a way to view any data on individual users within facebook...I don't think they let me do that.)

    On another note, the 1.3 upgrade and the Qt 4.7 webkit seems to have resolved the autocomplete/capitalization problem with the login page. This is good, because nothing I was trying was helping that problem under 1.2/Qt 4.6.

    So far, the top things I am working on for another release are:
    • Better debug logging to help resolve situations like this login issue (there is already some debug logging...if you start from the terminal you will already see some debug output)
    • Show comments that people have left on your status
    • Option for a G-rated application name in facebook (for people who have friended their mom and don't want to offend her)
    Thanks to everyone who is using the app...I hope you are enjoying it.

    I just submitted an updated version. You can now choose your tag line that shows on the status update. The "effing N900" is still available, or you can change it to the more pedestrian "N900 Status Updater" in order to avoid giving your grandmother the vapors.

    There is also a limit in place to the number of characters you can submit so that you will not get the mysterious errors that happen when the status is too long for Facebook.

    One more thing: I need to post a privacy policy to satisfy facebook. Until that is done, you should just be aware that I don't want your info. The app submits to and reads from facebook only and does nothing else with your info. And if you don't believe me, check out the source code for yourself on Giitorious (though you should be forwarned that it is pretty shoddy work!).

    The bugtracker doesn't exist so posting here instead. I tried to install this but all I got was a copyright file.

    Correction...still broken. Bad location in the .desktop file. I'll fix it in the AM.

    Thanks. Managed to get it to work by running /usr/bin/effing/effing/effing from an xterm. Strange place for an executable though!

    That string of "effings" is appropriate. But it is fixed now. The version in the repos actually works.

    And you can switch between the two taglines at will. You need to authorize them separately (it will prompt you for login and tell you which it is using), but it will remember both authorization keys separately.
