You are trying to share state between two sandboxes (the iframe and the enclosing window) that are trying really hard to not let you share state! I believe there are ugly ways to do this such as appending the parent's url with #<data> or using .swf

True. Hopefully one day there will be a clean way to do this supported by all browsers, but I'm not holding my breath: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-crossDocumentMessages.html#crossDocumentMessages

Assuming you know that the iframe has changed state (closed?)

Yes, if you stick it in a modal dialog that's no problem.

you could do a tiny MQL query to the graph to check the timestamp of the last link written by that user.

I was thinking along those lines, but it seems to be a catch-22 situation. You need access to the 'metaweb-user' cookie to get the user name. regards, --Will
