Can't 2.0.0 hide statuses from 'hidden' Facebook contacts?

Asked by ThomasAagaard

When adding my Facebook account I get status updates from contacts for which I have chosen to hide statuses (in Facebook).
I don't think these statuses should not appear but I can't adjust this in Gwibber settings. Doesn't the Facebook API supports this?

Gwibber 2.0.0
Ubuntu 9.10

I would love this feature. I did a quick test and I don't think the fb API allows for this yet.

You can get the filters from facebook, for example I added this code to facebook.py:
self.facebook.filters = self.facebook.stream.getFilters(self.facebook.session_key)
These look like:
{u'filter_key': u'nf', u'is_visible': True, u'uid': 614255489, u'icon_url': u'http://www.facebook.com/images/app_icons/newsfeed.gif', u'rank': 0, u'value': None, u'type': u'newsfeed', u'name': u'News Feed'}
Which looks promising until I listed them out, just by id, name and visibility:
nf News Feed True
city_296875 Toronto, ON True
app_2915120374, Status Updates, True
app_2305272732, Photos, True
app_2309869772, Links, True
pp, Pages, False
app_2392950137, Vide,o False
app_2347471856, Notes, False
app_2361831622, Groups, False
app_2413267546, Music, False
app_128581025231, Marketplace, False

This doesn't include any of the filters I have in place on specific people or apps like MafiaWars or other spammy apps. :(

I'm not familiar with Facebook API, so there may be another way.
