After adding a new twitter account and returning to the main gui screen this error popped up.

[martincasc (martincasco)]

Same problem here... but I'm running a live Session trying to find out if my maverick installation has any problem...

So, on live session have this issue; on installed session Gwibber doesn't update my twitts

[Shane Rice (shane2peru)]
