Bug Description
When posting a notice fails for whatever reason, the user should know, and with minimal (preferably zero) effort, Gwibber should recover the failed notice and continue trying to post it.
The situation right now:
0. Come up with something remarkably clever to say to all your followers.
1. Enter your incredible tweet in Gwibber's entry field
2. Press "Enter" key to send your tweet.
Expected results:
Entry field clears, tweet gets sent, tweet appears in message list.
Actual results (in the case of an error):
Entry field clears...no indication that anything went wrong. When message doesn't show up, user either assumes it will come later, or thinks message downloading has broken and Gwibber needs to be restarted.
Additional notes:
* indicator in status bar is not sufficient unless you force it to show even for users who have it hidden (me)
* it should be possible to view/edit/cancel pending messages
* when quitting Gwibber, user should be warned if there are pending messages
Maybe an "outbox" in the tree view similar to mail clients. (Ugh, I just went there)
