Description of problem: A Facebook account can be successfully linked with GOA, but Empathy still fails to connect and throws a Athentification failure popup. Since the bug fix update of telepathy-gabble pushed as a result of bug #1004325, Facebook works if the account if linked from Empathy directly, instead of using GOA. How reproducible: Tried on 2 computers running up-to-date Fedora 19 x86_64, 100% reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open GOA, Settings -> Online Accounts 2. Link your Facebook Account 3. Launch Empathy Actual results: A pop-up warns about the athentification failure. None of my Facebook contacts is shown in Empathy. Expected results: My Facebook contacts should be shown in Empathy. Additional info: I have no other account sync'd besides Facebook. Again, Facebook works if GOA is bypassed and the account is sync'd directly from Empathy.
I can confirm this bug on another computer running up-to-date Fedora 19 x86_64. Facebook chat works if the account is configured from within Empathy, but authorization fails for Facebook accounts configured using GOA. Google+ and Windows Live accounts are unaffected.
Same issue here.
It doesn't work with Ubuntu/UOA/Empathy either. I am guessing something broke at Facebook's end.

That is because when you are using GOA it is using a different SASL mechanism -- namely X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM [1]. Otherwise you are using DIGEST-MD5.
