If you added
cp -R ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.backup
to a script, than the backup must be in ~/.
Perhaps the script runs "cd /var/lib/gdm3" and you added "cp -R
~/.thunderbird .thunderbird.backup", the backup without the path?
You should post what exactly you edited.

You're partly right :)
frank@sid:/etc/gdm3/PostSession$
cat Default
#!/bin/sh
cp -R /home/frank/.thunderbird thunderbird.backup
exit 0
frank@sid:/etc/gdm3/PostSession$
I failed to add "/home/frank" or ~ to the destination, perhaps
thinking wrongly cp would copy to the original directory.
My mistake...now fixed...
cp -R /home/frank/.thunderbird /home/frank/.thunderbird.backup
Always would do this for /frank, even if another user would close a
session?
PS: Perhaps it's impossible for another user to write to /frank?
Just for fun I created a new user (my wife)..and ran a session under
"her" account...she could not write to my directory so nothing happened.
This whole thread has convinced me I need to learn more about bash and
scripting :)
