Comment 32 for bug 533017

Many are focusing on the three warning messages in the top. For everyone the issue seems to be slightly different. For me gwibber was failing in the line 284 of /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/gwui.py
Failing error was:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/gwui.py", line 284, in render
    self.load_html_string(content, "file://%s/" % os.path.dirname(template_path))
TypeError: WebKitWebView.load_html_string() argument 1 must be string without null bytes, not str

I did some debugging and found that the content has null in it.... I added a line before the line 284 to remove null:
(Sorry - I don't know python but my programming sense made me do this - probably there may be a better way)
# line added
content = content.replace("\0","")
# existing line
self.load_html_string(content, "file://%s/" % os.path.dirname(template_path))

After that everything worked great for me.
