Bug Description

Trying to run it on an upgrade to 10.04 [kubuntu]

The window never appears. This is what I get running it from the command line:

$ gwibber

I have the same problem, but in Ubuntu 10.04 (not in Kubuntu).
But this happens only on a second user that I added, on the first user it works fine.

I'll be happy to provide more info if needed.
