Title:
  Gwibber's message history (scrollback) is too short

Status in Gwibber:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently, Gwibber only shows the 20 most recent notices, which in my
  case equates to about 15 minutes.

  If I'm away from the computer for longer than that, I miss notices,
  and Gwibber offers no way to read them.

  A simple solution would be to make the message history (scrollback)
  much longer, and time-based. So messages from the last 12 hours (say)
  would always be shown. This time limit should be configurable, at
  least in gconf.

  Another approach would be to show all unread messages at-least-until
  they user reads them (i.e. acknowledges them by focusing the Gwibber
  window).
