I had the same issue as #16 - last lines of the trace: accounts=accounts) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/gwui.py", line 284, in render self.load_html_string(content, "file://%s/" % os.path.dirname(template_path)) TypeError: WebKitWebView.load_html_string() argument 1 must be string without null bytes, not str The issue is var "content" in the line 284 has null: self.load_html_string(content, "file://%s/" % os.path.dirname(template_path)) I edited /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/gwui.py and added a line before line 284 to strip the nulls and that fixed this issue: content = content.replace("\0","") I don't know python but I know programming :-) - probably this is fine.
