gwibber fails to start (crashes)

[John Vivirito]

Binary package hint: gwibber

Gwibber is not starting with icon or from terminal. Here is the output i get when running from a terminal. Not sure why there are 2 gwibber-services processes. Here is all the output including showing and killing the processes. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the crash but it is unlikely. Not sure if there is a log file for gwibber but if there is let me know ill attach it. I have seen this crash in other bug reports I think

John, try to delete ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/desktop-couch and start gwibber. It might work
