A note about my patch:

"Warning: Could not process response from Facebook server - retrying" basically means you are affected by this bug - if you see it, make sure you try pressing "add" before deciding it doesn't work (the message might not make this clear). If you get the "Error: still can't process response from Facebook server" message, however, my patch can't help!

A note about this bug:

I wonder if this is actually an upstream problem with cacheing in webkit or something - making a different HTTP request sometimes fixes it, and changing DNS server sometimes fixes it - from what I've seen of the gwibber code, there's nothing that's actually wrong, just a lack of query string being returned (in my case at least)

If my patch or other workarounds don't fix the problem, try printing the URL being returned by webkit at line 100 of lib/gtk/facebook.py and post it here - it would be good to see if it's the same bug for everyone

url = web.get_main_frame().get_uri()
print url; #add this line
data = json.loads(urlparse.parse_qs(url.split("?", 1)[1])["session"][0])
