In that case an icedove process is still running without GUI. Check with, e.g.,
$ pidof icedove (if your are alone on your computer). If said command returns a process id, then terminate it with $ kill $(pidof icedove) and to make sure $ kill -9 $(pidof icedove) Now, a new icedove session can be started. By the way, same goes for iceweasel. -- Regards, jvp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
