Facebook is complaining when I try to connect:

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://drupal_sandbox.local/sites/all/modules/fb/fb_receiver.html#fname=...) must start with http or https.

I'm able to login, but it than opens the drupal site in the popup. Closing it and refreshing the parent page shows me logged in, but the facebook connect block fails to pull anything through, and when i log out I need to clear my cookies to get the connect button back, it still shows me as logged in.

Don't expect anything facebook related to ever work on a server named "drupal_sandbox.local". Use a domain that is visible from facebook.com.

You might have better luck in 3.x, where the xd receiver is no longer used. But no guarantees... the modules are expected to work only when the server can be reached from facebook.

Definitely in the the category of 'stupid questions' but since i'm still having trouble getting some things to work...
i assume the javascript library goes in the 'libraries' directory?
that is necessary for the 3.0 branch right even if the connector is not used?

both branches get the javascript from facebook.com servers. At least by default, in 3.x there is a way to override. You only need to install the php libs locally.
