Title:
  Facebook authentication failure is very unclear

Status in Gwibber:
  New
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

When Facebook authentication in Gwibber fails, a notification is shown using Notify OSD. However, the icon used for this notification is Facebook's logo, and the title of this notification is simply 'facebook'. Its body only mentions a Facebook authentication failure.

Nothing in this notification message indicates that this error happened in Gwibber. It could just as well have taken place in Empathy, or maybe even in the web browser!

The notification should be changed to convey that it is sent by Gwibber.

Also, currently when you are notified via Notify OSD of a Facebook authentication failure, the Facebook entry in the accounts dialogue still says that you were successfully authenticated to Facebook. However, this is not the case and causes even more confusion, because the user will by now most certainly not know that the authentication failure was actually in Gwibber.

The entry from ~/.cache/notify-osd.log:
[2010-11-26T22:25:38-00:00, Gwibber ] facebook
Authentication failed, please re-authorize
