Gwibber

Gwibber is a handy microblogging client, but it would be nice if it:

Could be made smaller
Allowed hiding of things like the tabs and menus and other useless bits
Retried gets without constantly moaning about things failing. It's the internet - get over it. I don't need an orange triangle to warn me that the twitter API or the internet dropped a packet or two.
Retried posts more than once - maybe even until they work - instead of logging a meaningless error and losing my post. Something more than an orange triangle would be good to say a POST failed.
Could track whether I've read tweets or not - and maybe highlight the ones I've not read?
Could get more than about 20 tweets on startup - maybe make it configurable, or even continue getting historical tweets as long as they are unread by me (up to a configurable max)

Note: See, I've been good - I've not even asked for a filter to remove all the crud that people put on twitter, particularly me ;-)
