Facebooker talk - Dec 2008 - updating users status while not logged in

If I prompt the user for both the "status_update" and
"offline_access"
permissions then I can just:

user.facebooker_user.status="foo"

and it works like a charm regardless if that user is logged in or not.
Great.

However, I notice that the Twitter app does NOT request the offline access
permission and they are able to update a user''s status anyways.

Now http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Users.setStatus says that
only the "status_update" perm is required.  So my guess is that the
facebooker api is calling setStatus incorrectly by always trying to create
the session with the session key instead of with the uid... or something
like that.

Think that''s possible?

And to answer my own question...

This works while I''m logged out of facebook.  I''m pretty sure
it doesn''t
even touch the session.

session
Facebooker::Session.create(Globals::FACEBOOK_API_KEY,Globals::FACEBOOK_SECRET)
session.post(''facebook.users.setStatus'',{:uid =>
User.find(4).facebook_id,
:status => ''test''})
