Steps to reproduce:

1) login to facebook.com with a browser
2) Go to https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications and remove "Gwibber"
3) open the gwibber-accounts dialog and remove your facebook account from gwibber if it was already created
4) Add your facebook account to gwibber again, after entering the password it will list permissions being added for gwibber
5) These permissions should include at least "Posting to wall" and "Access posts in my News Feed"

This bug was fixed in the package gwibber - 3.0.0.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
gwibber (3.0.0.1-0ubuntu3) natty-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/fix_facebook_ext_perms.patch
    - Send "scope" to specify ext_perm needed for facebook permissions,
      without this posting to facebook fails and requires removing and adding
      the account again for the user to get the permissions fixed (LP: #772015)
