EMPATHY PROBLEM

General description:
Empathy can't log in at the facebook chat interface

Do basic check before BUGFIX!
First, control your facebook username and your password, if your your username 
is active, you can visit your facebook-profile in your web-browser by tipping 
http://www.facebook.com/#Replace this text between the slashes with your 
username#/

Important-Note: Your normal name in facebook is NOT the same as your
facebook-username, after normal registration on facebook, the facebook-
username is normally still NOT set, you have to choose one in your
profile settings or by visiting the following link
http://www.facebook.com/username/

BUGFIX description:
My solution, after registration of the required facebook-username, wait a few 
hours, it could take some time until the account is available for any 
connection from empathy! If it's still not working, open facebook in the 
webbrowser, go to your profil settings, change your facebook-password once, 
logout and close your webbrowser. Set the new password in empathy and try to 
connect again!

Now it should work fine...
