I also CC'ed this to the gmailagent* mailinglist as we still don't have
a libgmail mailinglist. (don't ask)
So anyone who wants to follow what we, Waseem and I, are up to
can check/subscribe to that list.

(Warning, devel talk :-)

After some initial checking it seems that the "GV" cookie can't be found.
(see line 293).
The problem is, I think, that Gmail changed the javascript inside the=20
URL_GMAIL page.
The regexp that is used to get the page which provides the cookie isn't=20
found and so it raises a exception when trying to parse 'None'.
The problem is *not* the username/passwrd.

BTW, when we fix this we should consider a more abstract way of
parsing these pages. Now every time Gmail changes something in
the javascript libgmail fails.

We need javascript Python bindings :-)
