Well, what bothers me is that when trying to get to the F-Spot Export 
Plugin App page on facebook, I get a "page not found". As if the App had 
been disabled/deleted.

Since the plugin itself hasn't changed for quite a while, I would assume 
that lack of maintenance make it a rather deprecated thing (using the 
REST API which is now deprecated in favor of the Graph API, missing 
permissions which were not necessary before but now are, etc...) and 
could have caused FB to shut the page off entirely :(.

I'll see what I can fetch from the app info programmatically, see what 
happens...
