I'm attaching a backtrace of gwibber-service stuck at 100% cpu. You might also be interested in bug #530605 which involves lots of "XXXX uses 100% cpu" problems, all seemingly related to accessing to passwords stored in seahorse.

Bug #530606 seems solved (at least for me), but this one is not: I don't think they really are duplicates.
