I guess my problem is the same, or at least related...

After clicking on Broadcast in the Me Menu gwibber-service writes a
large (>1GB) temp file (e.g. /var/tmp/etilqs_sf4NwKZepe6B1pB),
triggering a low disk space warning.

I guess it fails somewhere, as the Gwibber window usually doesn't
appear, and after a while the disk space is freed.

This happens in 11.04, and happened in 10.10 before I upgraded.

Title:
  gwibber starts writing to disk when clicking on a user

Status in Gwibber:
  New

Bug description:
  When using Gwibber as Twitter client, whenever I click on user icon or I do some action that creates a filter for messages, my hard disk starts working for a very very long time (iotop shows gwibber and gwibber-service activity), while cpu seems not affected.
  PC became unresposive due to high i/o activity, and after some minutes I have to kill gwibber (that became totally unresponsive) to keep using my pc.

  Everything started after last gwibber update, I think it was done last week.
  I'm currently using last ubuntu version 10.10 always updated with custom vanilla kernel 2.6.36.
