Gwibber doesn't start on KDE

[sigdrifa]

Binary package hint: gwibber

Just upgraded to Lucid and can't start Gwibber from KDE.
I don't know if it would have worked in Karmic since I never used it on KDE. Works fine on Gnome.

Here's the error I get when trying to start it from the command line:

Hmmm. I dont think if its actually something specific to kde. I have seen this error for gnome bugs too

Don't know about that, sorry... I really don't understand these kinds of error messages.
On Gnome it worked, though, so I thought it might be KDE specific.

Same problem here on KDE after upgrading to Lucid.
Same configuration.
