Description of problem: Gwibber stops fetching messages from Twitter when it encounters the tweet at "http://twitter.com/mavittest/status/24774597597". It emits the following log message: 2010-09-17 17:52:29,888 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - Twitter failure - {u'favorited': False, u'contributors': None, u'truncated': False, u'text': u'This tweet is an attempt to break <em>Gwibber</em>.', u'created_at': u'Fri Sep 17 16:49:24 +0000 2010', u'retweeted': False, u'coordinates': None, u'source': u'web', u'in_reply_to_status_id': None, u'in_reply_to_screen_name': None, u'in_reply_to_user_id': None, u'place': None, u'retweet_count': None, u'geo': None, u'id': 24774597597L, u'user': {u'follow_request_sent': False, u'profile_use_background_image': True, u'id': 191893264, u'verified': False, u'profile_sidebar_fill_color': u'DDEEF6', u'profile_text_color': u'333333', u'followers_count': 2, u'protected': False, u'location': None, u'profile_background_color': u'C0DEED', u'listed_count': 0, u'utc_offset': -28800, u'statuses_count': 1, u'description': None, u'friends_count': 0, u'profile_link_color': u'0084B4', u'profile_image_url': u'http://s.twimg.com/a/1284676327/images/default_profile_3_normal.png', u'notifications': False, u'show_all_inline_media': False, u'geo_enabled': False, u'profile_background_image_url': u'http://s.twimg.com/a/1284676327/images/themes/theme1/bg.png', u'screen_name': u'mavittest', u'lang': u'en', u'profile_background_tile': False, u'favourites_count': 0, u'name': u'Peter Oliver', u'url': None, u'created_at': u'Fri Sep 17 16:47:53 +0000 2010', u'contributors_enabled': False, u'time_zone': u'Pacific Time (US & Canada)', u'profile_sidebar_border_color': u'C0DEED', u'following': True}} 2010-09-17 17:52:29,891 - Gwibber Dispatcher - ERROR - <twitter:receive> Operation failed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gwibber-2.31.93-1.847bzr.fc13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow "mavittest" on Twitter. Actual results: Tweets seen. Expected results: No tweets seen. Additional info: This bug is not found in the upstream version of Gwibber. Removing the patch "gwibber-838bzr-twitter-unicode-hack.patch" from the RPM eliminates the bug. The note in the .spec says to see "https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/532952", but this page asserts that this bug is fixed. Is this patch still needed?
So, even when i take out that patch, I can still make it choke on certain non-utf8 characters. I think this fix will do the trick though: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/646232
