Bug Description

Currently if I like a Facebook status in Gwibber I get a lovely notification bubble telling me I have liked someone's status.

However if I post a new Facebook status using the Me Menu or Gwibber's main window, no notification is given informing me that that I have successfully posted anything. The same can be said about commenting on people's status's.

I only use Facebook so I don't know if this is a Facebook only issue or if Gwibber handles notifications the same with other protocols.

I have also created an idea on Brainstorm regarding this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24523/

this bug is actually not a bug and a feature request about gwibber to show a notification when we post something on a facebook. i think the proposed branch was mistakenly linked to this bug. since i have not seen any regressions in the proposed version of gwibber I am marking this as verified.
