Mmm. Are you *running* gnome-keyring-daemon? It's part of a default Gnome
session, but if you are using Twitux outside of Gnome you need to start it
yourself. Not having it running causes twitux to hang on trying to connect,
without any message.
You also need dbus running in your session, but unless you have
heavily customized your X session scripts, that runs by default.

This cannot posibly be the problem. If twitux did not find these libraries at
all, it would not even start. So, what you are seeing is the result of twitux
looking for them in a lot of places before actually finding them.
In any case, to confirm, run
$ ldd /usr/bin/twitux
That will print out the locations where the libraries are ultimately found, or
a message if they are not.

BTW, none of these are default locations for shared libraries in Debian. I
don't think it's related to the problem, but you should look at your
/etc/ld.so.conf and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment var. Something is messing
with them.
