Bug Description

I'm using archlinux, and an "homemade" version of gwibber 3.0.0.1, using gwibber-light PKGBUILD.

On first start, after creating first account, I got this error message :

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gwibber/gwui.py:753: GtkWarning: IA__gtk_range_set_range: assertion `min < max' failed self.scrollbar.set_range(0, len(self.messages) - 1)

And every single time I switch to / from search UI to timeline UI.

Forgot to add packages used by this PKGBUILD :

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47233

dbus-python libwnck python-distutils-extra python-egenix-mx-base python-feedparser python-imaging python-mako python-notify python-pycurl python-simplejson python-wnck python2 python2-gconf python2-oauth pywebkitgtk pyxdg

Here are the lines around line 753 :

self.messages = self.message_view.render([selected_stream], count)
pos = self.messages.index(id) if id and id in self.messages else 0
self.scrollbar.set_range(0, len(self.messages) - 1)

or maybe, it is a new libwebkit version bug for this empty and unusable box ?!

Note : I installed a virtual archlinux with gnome 2.32.xx and gwibber 3.0.0.1 works flawlessly.

Could you please give any idea on how to fix it ? Thanks.
