gwibber crashed with DBusException in call_blocking(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Binary package hint: gwibber

This was, I think, caused by deleting by ~/.config/gwibber folder.

Below is what I got running from a terminal:

greg@greg-natty:~$ gwibber
