Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

I've just updated to the latest version of glom now, and this one still crashes repeatedly (but it's a new crash now). All I need to do is open it from the indicator, the window appears, but I get repeated crash reports for the whole time it is open, and no information from my Facebook account is ever displayed

... Reports identical behavior, also on amd64 / Ubuntu 9.10.
When this did work until yesterday it had this oddity: I could only view (Twitter) messages after invoking the sidebar from View and select messages from there.
If you decide this is unrelated please ignore this message.

A work around would be to run:

  gconftool-2 --unset /apps/gwibber/preferences/theme
