Gwibber interface will not open

[Ed Hewitt]

Binary package hint: gwibber

The Gwibber starts fine on boot up. The gwibber-service is working in the background fine, I can see new messages come in because of the notification and there is also a small triangle next to 'Broadcast' in the message indicator.

The problem is that the Gwibber interface will not appear, either clicking on 'Broadcast' in the indicator or from the menu.

This bug appeared after a reboot when I install some updates from last night (9 May 2010). Here are the packages which were updated:
