Title:
  Gwibber should load new messages on demand, like Twitter web client

Status in Gwibber:
  New
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  The Twitter web client does not display new messages automatically,
  instead it says something like "2 new tweets" and you have to press a
  button to see the new tweets. I find that helpful, since I can clearly
  keep track of what's new since last time I looked. Compare that to
  Gwibber, which periodically refreshes its view and automatically
  displays new messages with no distinction of what's old or new.

  I suggest that Gwibber implement something similar to the Twitter web
  client, to display the number of new messages and a button to display
  them. A further enhancement could be to color-code different batches
  of downloaded messages with different colors.

  For those who like the current behavior, the new behavior could be
  optional.
