Comment 4 for bug 645512

I encounter a similar problem. On Twitter, I'm a follower of @Teletekst. That profile often contains tweets with entities such as ë which generates errors after which Gwibber does not update the timeline. The only way for me to use Gwibber is to stop following @Teletekst.

This is an example of the errors that I get in ~/.cache/gwibber/gwibber.log:

2010-10-15 10:42:13,631 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - Twitter failure - {u'favorited': False, u'contributors': None, u'truncated': False, u'text': u'Ophef na aids-uitspraak in Belgi&euml; http://nos.nl/l/191455/t', u'created_at': u'Fri Oct 15 02:28:04 +0000 2010', u'retweeted': False, u'coordinates': None, u'source': u'<a href="http://nos.nl" rel="nofollow">NOS</a>', u'in_reply_to_status_id': None, u'place': None, u'in_reply_to_user_id': None, u'in_reply_to_screen_name': None, u'retweet_count': None, u'geo': None, u'id': 27401600962L, u'user': {u'follow_request_sent': False, u'profile_use_background_image': True, u'id': 5136281, u'verified': False, u'profile_sidebar_fill_color': u'e8e8ff', u'profile_text_color': u'333333', u'followers_count': 21412, u'protected': False, u'location': u'Hilversum', u'profile_background_color': u'ffffff', u'listed_count': 1231, u'utc_offset': 3600, u'statuses_count': 27914, u'description': u'NOS Teletekst | Laatste nieuws | op TV, internet, mobiel, iPhone en Blackberry | voetbal tussenstanden en uitslagen | beurskoersen | weer | verkeer |', u'friends_count': 5264, u'profile_link_color': u'b41a1f', u'profile_image_url': u'http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1133689260/teletekst_normal.jpg', u'notifications': False, u'show_all_inline_media': False, u'geo_enabled': False, u'profile_background_image_url': u'http://a3.twimg.com/profile_background_images/41705199/a_teletekst.jpg', u'name': u'NOS Teletekst', u'lang': u'en', u'profile_background_tile': False, u'favourites_count': 1, u'screen_name': u'Teletekst', u'url': u'http://teletekst.nos.nl', u'created_at': u'Wed Apr 18 16:31:44 +0000 2007', u'contributors_enabled': False, u'time_zone': u'Amsterdam', u'profile_sidebar_border_color': u'8c8cab', u'following': True}}

These errors are then followed by a line like this:

2010-10-15 10:42:13,655 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - <twitter:user_messages> Operation failed
