Bug Description
Binary package hint: gwibber
I have noticed my computer has been running a little slow for a while. I tried to get to the bottom of it and realised that 'beam.smp' was using a lot of RAM. To combat this bug, I went to System > Preferences > Broadcast Preferences and unticked the choice; 'Start service at log-in'.
Now, if I try to start Gwibber beam.smp memory usage drastically increases again, but also CPU load is very high, and after waiting five minutes the application did not load.
I have not used Gwibber beyond trying it out when I first installed Lucid, but have it installed on my machine and my Facebook account has been entered on there.
I am using Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit. If any further information is needed, please ask.

the bug is already fixed in maverick as we dont use desktopcouch in Ubuntu 10.10 anymore.
