Comment 2 for bug 544133

Correct, in my Gwibber 2.31.1 it does show the warning (writing area turns red) on longer messages but does allow posting them.

However, in Qaiku replies (not initial posts) it would be nice to remove the character limit indication completely.

BTW, Qaiku works quite nicely in this Gwibber version when you use my version of qaiku.py from http://gist.github.com/359045
