Facebook application - extended permissions

Question

I been reading about Facebook applications for a couple of days now. I created an application and got an ID and SECRET.

The documentation recommends to use "Graph" for gaining extended permissions.

My question is, is it optional to have a popup, just like the rest of Facebook's popups? (a layer on-top the current screen, without an actual 'Window')?

My application is inside facebook, accessible using http://apps.facebook.com// My goal is to ask friends of mine to grant this application: publish_stream and offline_access. Then I'm supposed to store their UIDs while granting, and I'm entitled to automatically share items on their "stream"? even a week after they've logged off?

Thanks. Doori Bar

Yes, that's the idea. You request the permissions when they log in to the application and then iterate over the response to see if they actually granted them. If they did you can then use the information to publish to the stream.
