Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

I'm not sure if this is a result of my deletion of all my ~/. files. (as a test of course) a while back, but the broadcast accounts window popped up multiple times as it requested me to insert a password for my identi.ca account as well as reauthorize facebook although it never made any visual notification that it wasn't authorized.
It seemed to pop-up at the update interval i specified in the preferences, and everytime it would pop-up again the amount of windows would appear to double (didn't verify exact numbers).

WORKAROUND: insert missing passwords from requested accounts and/or re-authorize facebook by deleting it and adding it again.

I also deleted my ~/. and when i restarted it kept popping up. Deleting the accounts and re-adding them fixed it.

I am on 2.30.2 and this bug is back. I have 3 accounts. I have deleted and readded them and the broadcast accounts box comes up every time it synchs.

Same problem for me with 2.30.2-0ubuntu3. Also, I don't even have Gwibber running and the popups occurs every few minutes and I have to find the pid of the process and kill it. Very annoying behaviour and I've purged it for the time being.

Same story - did a clean maverick install, restored home folder, and am now getting the account authorization popup on every sync, even though the account is listed as authorized.
