I shall look at this bug tomorrow; It appears an easy fix, since I know
what's causing the error. When Gwibber queries Twitter about a person's
pic after a tweet, for some reason the API doesn't return an image
immediately. Gwibber doesn't check if an image is returned or not, it
simply turns the returned data into a Pixbuf (no data in this case),
hence causing the error and letting the service crash.

Okay, so the last line in the Traceback means
Unknown image file format

Thanks to Google Translate !
