Facebook OAuth login for iframe canvas apps displays a logo image and a Go to Facebook.com caption instead of logging in

Question

I\'m trying to set up my (iframe) Facebook application to use OAuth for authentication. I used the python-sdk from Facebook, but I\'m not really satisfied by the result, yet

The issue is caused to the code Facebook uses to bust out of iframes. A bug has been filed on Facebook's bugzilla: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11326

This can be triggered when the user clicks on some element (e.g. a login button) or whenever a specific page is visited (just include it in the HTML head).
