[Bug 792355] Re: gwibber don't start after the latest update

 

I am using version 3.1.0 which on this site has not been released yet?  What is going on with Gibber?  The home web site is touting version 2.3.  
Well my ver 3.1.0 will not update the page so I do not get new posts.

Is there anyone who knows how the code in Gwibber works and can fix it
so it works.  This is really frustrating and kind of make one want to
just uninstall the whole "kit-n-kabootle".

It appears as if the developers have gone many different ways with all
these versions and incorrect web pages.  I suggest pulling it all
together and straighten it out so it is a workable application.
