When trying to post anything via any registered service, the text input area remains "disabled". It is visible, with "140" in the lower-right corner, but will not accept any input. 

More information: this is a brand-new/fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, not an upgrade. It has never worked. Accounts that have been set up are: digg, twitter, ping.fm, buzz, facebook, identi.ca. Digg was removed when the problem was first discovered, since it was the only service that doesn't support "sending" (I thought maybe digg was the culprit). No change after removing digg from my accounts. All the remaining accounts are authorized and connected properly and are receiving messages (except ping.fm, which I only have configured for sending on the ping.fm site, and buzz). I ran gwibber with the (-d) debug flag, but this is the only output it produced, even thoughout my attempts at entering text in the textbox: 

$ gwibber -d
