Here is what I have found. First of all, I have Ubuntu 10.04 with GLX-
Dock (Cairo Dock with Open-GL) installed on my system. My issue was
caused when I installed the Cairo Dock add-on in Thunderbird 16.0.1,
then I right clicked on my Thunderbird icon in my GLX-Dock and selected
'other actions - fullscreen'
After that, I did not get the option in the GLX-Dock, or in Thunderbird,
to change it back to normal screen. What I found was that this changed
the screen size settings in localstore.rdf to the following settings:
<RDF:Description
RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#messengerWindow"
width="700"
height="403"
screenX="0"
screenY="3"
sizemode="maximized" />
I then changed filename of localstore.rdf to localstore.rdf.old and
restarted Thunderbird. Thunderbird created a new localstore.rdf file on
startup with the following default settings, which were correct settings
to eliminate the issue.
<RDF:Description
RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#messengerWindow"
width="1024"
height="711"
screenX="0"
screenY="3"
sizemode="normal" />
note: screenY="3" on my system because I have a hidden panel on top that
is set to 3 pixels wide until I scroll over it. ScreenY would probably
be "0" on most systems.

Thunderbird starts in a full-screen mode and cannot be restored
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
WORKAROUND:

3. Change it to: sizemode="normal"
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
I've tried clicking F11 in various of places and even all the rest of
F-buttons, with Alt/Shift/Ctrl, and still no result. I've scrolled
throughout the whole advanced configuration and there was nothing
about full-screen mode. I don't have any extensions yet installed on
my Thunderbird and I don't know what to do next.
The problem has it basics because the profile that I've switched to,
comes from previous Windows installation.
I'm begging for Your help. It is stupid but really frustrating.
