Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Cannot authorise Facebook account because I am redirected to the localised (Korean) version of Facebook login, and can find no way to change to the English/.com version. (I am an American currently in Korea.)

Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

gwibber 2.31.94-0ubuntu1

Expected: To see Facebook login in English in the Gwibber settings window. To enter account info, and have Facebook account authorised and activated in Gwibber.

What happened: Facebook login page appeared in Korean. It would not accept my login information. I could find no option in the Facebook login page to change the language, and no way to change the url that Gwibber was using to access the login page.
