Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
My appearance settings in Karmic are to use Droid Sans as the Application Font at a size of 6.5pt, which is perfectly legitimate.
Gwibber does the following:
self.
which seems cause it to fail to start with fsize being a float (see attached traceback)

The problem would be that python can't turn a string of "6.5" into an integer via int(). However, this works:
>>> num1 = "6.5"
>>> num2 = "6"
>>> int(float(num1))
6
>>> int(float(num2))
6
>>>
It would seem like it might be nicer in the long run to support floats for font sizes, but in the mean time the additional float() call should fix this crash.
