Public bug reported: By default, Thunderbird doesn't use KDE-dialogs when running under Kubuntu, which can be changed by editing /usr/lib/mozilla- thunderbird/components/nsFilePicker.js like described for Firefox in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110353 . This is quite some pain, since it has to be done every time Thunderbird gets updated.
The preferable solution would be to supply a Thunderbird-KDE- integration-package, or at least putting nsFilePicker.js under /etc/[mozilla-]thunderbird/, so that user-made changes won't get wasted after each update. Btw, in Thunderbird 1.0.x one could "dpkg-reconfigure mozilla- thunderbird" to manually update the Thunderbird Chrome Registry to enable changes made in nsFilePicker.js, which unfortunately doesn't work for Thunderbird 1.5.x anymore :-( See also https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/43238 as this applies to Firefox as well. ** Affects: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Thunderbird KDE-integration https://launchpad.net/bugs/49568 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
