No updates shown on KDE 4.1

I have both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed. Gwibber works fine in GNOME, but on KDE it starts, says it updates, but nothing shows in the message area.

Running from source it appears to be:

  File "/home/tim/src/gwibber/trunk/gwibber/microblog/support/__init__.py", line 13, in parse_time
    loc = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_ALL)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 461, in getlocale
    raise TypeError, 'category LC_ALL is not supported'

Which is interesting.

I added a pdb.set_trace() in ./run and `locale.getlocale(locale.LC_ALL)` works fine there, so I'm somewhat confused as to why it fails further on.

I'm looking at creating a branch that removes the dependancy on mx.Datetime. I have a somewhat hacked version that I have running now, but will follow up with real code.
