Bug Description
When adding Twitter or Facebook authorizations to Gwibber, two conditional buttons appear (Cancel) & (Save). Because these buttons are not persistent, they are easily missed. I've attempted to add Twitter and Facebook credentials three times and had missed these buttons.
The conditional (Cancel) button duplicates functionality of the window's lower right hand (Close) button.
Possibly similar to: https:/

I completely concur. It has happened to me before with Facebook and Gwibber, and has happened to me twice when now having to re-authorize the Identi.ca account through OAuth. I click the Authorize button, enter my credentials in the Identi.ca website, click Allow, and expect to be done when the Identi.ca screen says done. Considering it done, I click the Close button, completely failing to notice the Cancel and Save buttons you can apparently use.
I think a good solution here would be to immediately save the authorization once a user is authorized, and providing an Undo option, i.e. Unauthorize. If you're going through the complete process of authorizing your account, it's unlikely that this has been done by accident, so you can safely assume that the user will want to save the authorization.
