As a user connected via fb_connect, if I visit a Facebook page and log in as that page (the new 'user switching' to Facebook page faux user feature) then forget to switch back to the regular Facebook user while on Facebook, then return to the Web site where fb_connect is active, fb_connect will create a new user, named after the Facebook page title, on every page load.

Another interesting point is that the Facebook social widgets on the Web site do not work when the user returns to the Web site after forgetting to switch back from the faux Facebook page user to the real user on Facebook.

This is a new feature FB rolled out with their new fan pages last week, so we need to see if there is a way to differentiate between a real user and a faux user.

Thanks for the report. I haven't tried this new feature but I agree this should be fixed, if there is some way to tell the user id is a page.
