This is a essential function of a twitter client, if this no works... This client is almost unuseful! :-(

Added two null arguments to that line - it no longer hangs but still no notifications.

Fixed in trunk, we don't have a method for handling the action anyway so I removed it.

Here it is. At first glance, gwibber-service looks like it's having trouble with parsing information from Facebook.

Looking at the log, it looks like it is sending notifications. Or at least trying to:

Can you look at the notify-osd log in ~/.cache/notify-osd.log and see if there is anything that looks gwibber related?

No, there is nothing gwibber related.

But yeah, after some amount of normal activity (sleeps, restarts, and internet browsing), notifications always cease from Facebook. I can usually keep getting Twitter notifications long after the Facebook account stops, but this problem isn't unique to one installation. I've already tried three different Lucid Lynx installations, and this problem occurred on all three. Complete uninstallations and reinstallations, reverting to earlier versions of Gwibber, or using a daily build from launchpad all failed to solve the issue.

The Client itself will update when opened, and will post a notification if I "like" or comment on something. But it will not post notifications from the news feed, no matter what I do. I started a thread on the Ubuntu Forums confirming that I wasn't the only person with this issue.

This really is an issue. If you use Gwibber with Facebook for any length of time, you'll see it too. There is no activity in the notifyOSD logs from Gwibber regarding Facebook after a while (usually a couple of restarts). It looks like Gwibber simply doesn't persist in maintaining contact with notifyOSD when it comes to Facebook.
