You're welcome :)
I had other problems with Gwibber, and wound up uninstalling it. I replaced it with Pino, another Twitter client.

As such things go, I wound up running into Pino crashes as well, recently. With a bit of Googling, I found it was probably a PulseAudio bug (http://code.google.com/p/pino-twitter/issues/detail?id=245) and arrived at a bit of a kludgy workaround (http://code.google.com/p/pino-twitter/issues/detail?id=245#c9 and also read comment 10). However, with system sounds off, Pino is currently working without problems for me. Doubtless there is some bug still lurking in the background, but I cannot debug system code, so this workaround is fine.

If you only use Twitter, and not Facebook, perhaps Pino will be enough for you... I like it :)
