Title:
  Message pane repaints frequently and resets the scroll status, losing reading 
position

Status in Gwibber:
  Fix Released
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm running gwibber-2.0.0-1.478bzr.fc11.noarch. I have gwibber set to update 
only every 15 minutes, and I have it configured with Identi.ca, Twitter and 
Facebook accounts. Despite the 15min update time, the gwibber message pane 
window seems to repaint/update itself very frequently, e.g. as often as 10s. 
When it does so the scroll status is reset back to the top, thus losing the 
place where you were reading.

This makes trying to read through a list of messages very frustrating, if that 
list requires more than a scroll or two.

I think:

a) There is some problem with gwibber repainting/updating the message pane 
*far* more frequently than the configured update time

b) There is a secondary problem where Gwibber, on an update of the message 
pane, resets the scroll state. I think it should not do so - even if a) were 
fixed, I would be annoyed if I lost my place if I was reading as an update 
occured. (However, I note there is a pre-existing "Wont fix" bug about this 
same issue).

Great app though, thanks!
