Comment 2 for bug 640881

So I "fixed" it but killing gwibber and gwibber-service and then starting gwibber again. Then, after hitting authorize, the oAuth box came up and it worked. However, I have the something similar happen now whenever I try to use gwibber after waking from hibernate. I think the problem has something to do with hibernation. I got the following traceback after trying to start gwibber after hibernate:

I then killed gwibber and gwibber service and started it back up and it worked. So the problem appears to be localized to post-hibernate. That would make this bug a dup of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktopcouch/+bug/522538.
