Comment 9 for bug 428498

Hi Pete,

I did some code investigating and this does not seem to be the default behaviour of the plugin:

libfacebook.c, lines 676 - 680:

    option = purple_account_option_bool_new(
        _("Set Facebook status through Pidgin status"),
        "facebook_set_status_through_pidgin", FALSE);
    prpl_info->protocol_options = g_list_append(
        prpl_info->protocol_options, option);

So something must of ticked the box in the Advanced tab, not sure what could be happening here.
