Ok, this is weird. If I suspend once, when I return I get errors as above, mostly:

** (gwibber:2675): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (gwibber:2675): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (gwibber:2675): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

But when I suspend again and try to start I get different errors:

And this continues for 3rd 4th suspend etc...
Also -- apologies if this is unrelated, but it seems weird -- my laptop screen is dimmed on the first resume but not on any subsequent resume.
