Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
gwibber needs refactoring to properly deal with gwibber-daemon going down (and coming back). I am not sure how to best do this without putting exception handling to all places where we use the dbus proxies.
examples for crashes that would be fixed by this are bug 422726 bug 434833 and bug 436961
