Public bug reported:
I'm trying to get along. I've gotten used to Unity (under Natty), I've put
aside my older-style ways and am moving right in on the new style that seems
specific to Ubuntu. And part of that is Gwibber. In the past it's been clumbsy
and awkward, but could potentially made to work, and so I'm trying to do just
that, as I've just upgraded to "Onery Ocelot".
Gwibber comes up with a line of icons across the top, none of which are
helpful, none of which respond to a right-click, either. I have no other icons,
the messages just scroll by and if I get it to do anything, it brings up the
entire browser again. I thought this was just the exception: Gwibber was meant
to allow you to "peek" at the feed, instead of going to the browser. (?) I can
barely tell that it knows I'm even pointing to any given message.
So I see a message from some friendly types. They suggest I use a PPA. I do, I
upgrade, and yeah! NOW I'M RUNNING VERSION 3.3.0 THAT ACCORDING TO THE GWIBBER
PAGE DOESN'T EVEN EXIST YET....and...still...no icons. Still no functionality.
So I'm thinking maybe there's something fodding the configuration. Googling
"how to delete Gwibber History" seems an ordeal, and there's no .gwibber file
(according to the document) I even went so far as to PURGE the thing, to which
I was told I could do so, but I'd have to also remove Ubuntu-Desktop.
I can't seem to get it to turn off, it pops up with notifications all the time,
AND attempts to turn it off have failed.
I *REALLY* hope I just have a copy that's on acid; this is less function than
when I saw it under Lucid-or-so.
Can you point me to a way to clean-slate the thing, without formatting my
drive? (If I do, I think it'll be reloaded with Mint.) Grrr.
