Using the newly built python-webkitgtk from G:S:3.0 I can confirm that both gwibber and rednotebook are loading perfectly
I don't use rednotebook so I dunno about that but, Richard, are you able to post from Gwibber with the new python-webkitgtk? For me, the input field is non-usable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Wouldn't it make more sense to link python-webkitgtk from d:l:python to track updates?
No, We call it a STABLE repo. Linking to any random :devel repo does not sound like a very good idea.

the NM 0.9 issue is completely unrelated to this very reported issue. Please track it in a different bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
