I've read through the thread but hadn't found anybody who encountered the same problem as I had. Witter was working perfectly up until a few days ago when, when I opened it, it looked like it was loading, as usual, then closed suddenly. I've tried it multiple times with the same result. I even reinstalled the firmware and everything and it's still the same. I tried running it through the X-term and this is what I got:
<snip>

Segmentation fault

I hope someone can help. =/

Segmentation fault means one of the libraries that witter uses did something bad with memory. In theory as a pure python app there is nothing I can do to cause a segmentation fault, so it's just that one of the libs I'm using has a bug.
I see this occasionally, but if you;re getting it every time, something very strange is happening. I guess you could try removing all the witter config files and cache files. but I have no idea why that would fix the issue.
does it give the same output every time you run it?

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
