App is left in "Connecting" status for FB account. Don't know whether it will produce a session error or not. Just stopped after five minutes nothing happened.

This is recreatable, and is really a problem,
I will confirm it.

If you think my judgement is wrong, feel free to make it New.
And tell me why you object.

Thank you!
