gwibber-accounts takes 100% CPU when adding twitter account

[Olivier FAURAX]

When I launch gwibber-accounts, I try to add a twitter account.
The "Authorize" button is red, I click on it, it prints the web page from twitter.com in the window, and begin to take 100% of my CPU and I have to kill it.
I can't enter my username/password anymore.

Tested with lp:trunk, lp:2.30 and the 2.31.91 tar.gz.

The log is useless :
$ gwibber-accounts -d

It seems that this bug is valid only if the twitter advanced settings "Send messages" is not checked.

Previous comment is wrong, still valid with 2.31.93, with or without "Send messages" checked.

I made some tests, and it seems that it is due to a plugin of webkit (I didn't found which one).

However, as the webpage is only used to fill a form and get a token, we don't need to load plugins with webkit.
I made a branch with the line that disable use of plugins in the webkit instance used on twitter account registration in gwibber.
You should see it in "Related branches".
