iPhoto 8.0.3 can't setup link to Flickr Pro account

I just installed iPhoto '09 and am attempting to use the built-in flickr integration. When I click on the Flickr button, I get a popup that says:

Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Flickr?

I click, Setup, Safari opens and I login with my password (it ALWAYS asks me for my Password) to my Flickr account. I end up on my Flickr home page and NOTHING else happens. There is no acceptance page to confirm the link and iPhoto continues to display the setup popup window.

I've tried software update, reboot.

Has anyone else seen this? Solved it?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I am having the exact problem, and have been having it since I first installed iPhoto '09 soon after it shipped. I have installed all updates of iPhoto (now up to 8.0.4) and same thing happens. I have seen others who have posted this issue, and haven't been able to find a solution anywhere.

Any ideas anyone?

Have you logged into Flickr and checked your account - i think i remember having to approve teh connection there before it would work

I believe the flow is supposed to be that you hit 'setup' in iPhoto, and then log into flickr, and flickr asks for permission for iphoto to write to your account. After clicking setup, safari goes to flickr login, but no permission dialog is shown.
