I already suffered from the same problem. To solve that issue, I killed the gwibber-services processus.

I too have this same problem. It shouldn't be confused with https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/523964 which can be fixed by restarting the gwibber-services. For me gwibber-services isn't running and gwibber refuses to start at all. I've attached my terminal output when I attempt to run gwibber from there.
