Bug Description
I added my facebook account to Gwibber. Posted one thing to my wall to test, this worked but I decided against using gwibber.
I removed my facebook account. But when I go to gwibber social client from the applications menu (ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3) I am shown the accounts page, then when I close that I get the social broadcast messages page, this still shows the stream that it got from facebook. I have tried to completely remove gwibber, restart and reinstall to see if it still shows, and it does. I also blocked the application from within facebook itself.
Is this a bug, or me doing something wrong. The stream is not getting anything new, and it crashes if I try to comment or anything. But I feel its a privacy concern that its still got my stream showing.

Yes, this is Gwibber's standard behavior. When an account is deleted, the messages are shown with gray highlighting. This is because the messages are cached in the user's CouchDB and are still accessible after account deletion.
Several users have expressed confusion about this, so I'm seriously considering changing it in future versions.
