no one of us is using Xfce so we couldn't have tested a migration within Xfce. But yes, it looks like zenity needed to be installed additionally on Xfce. > Either zenity should be added as a dependency, or the migration script > should rather check which message box tool is installed and run that one, > instead of the most cosmetic - yet unavailable - tool. We can't add zenity as a dependency directly to thunderbird. We can't add any such dependency for thunderbird as it would be overbloated for the migration. But we need to ensure we have the fallback for a desktop notification on the system. This fallback is xmessage from the x11-utils package. I added this package to the dependency list of thunderbird.
