Public bug reported:

This is repeatible.

thunderbird --safe-mode also crashes

Removing ~.thunderbird/ does not fix the problem.

Running thunderbird as another user (different home directory, user
never ran thunderbird before) DOES fix the problem and thunderbird
starts normally.

Clearly there is something about my user environment which is crashing
thunderbird - but it is also a bug in thunderbird (it should not crash).

I have tried removing gconf settings too - but that made no difference.

Next step suggestions would be welcome!

Cheers

Tim
