[Bug 428498] [NEW] gwibber spams facebook with idle messages

[Chris Cheney]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gwibber

Pete Graner's gwibber locked up and apparently started posting idle
messages to facebook every 10 min or so:

It would be good to make sure this bug is fixed before too many more
people experience it.

10:56 <ccheney> you need to fix your gwibber setup, its spamming facebook about
                every 10 minutes
11:48 <pgraner> Thanks, that piece of **** locked up and I couldn't kill it, I
                had to reboot to make it stop
11:54 <ccheney> lol
11:55 <pgraner> I killed the GUI and I guess the backend didn't die and it was 
                still posting after I thought I had killed it. *sigh*
11:55 <ccheney> heh
11:56 <ccheney> probably should file a bug about it too :)
11:56 <ccheney> don't want to see thousands of ubuntu users all having that 
                happen on facebook, lol
11:56 <pgraner> Yea just point it at my facebook account
11:57 <pgraner> There needs to be some sort of throttling if the last few 
                messages are identical or some shit like that
11:57 <pgraner> yea, I don't know what debugging I can give other than I left 
                gwibber running and facebook got spammed
11:57 <pgraner> I'm afraid to start it back up
11:58 <pgraner> I'm already the "facebook spammer"
11:58 <pgraner> heh
11:59 <ccheney> ok
