I found a workaround for .thunderbird. I put a character before the dot, copied it into the home directory, then renamed it after the transfer had completed the copy. No problem, as Thunderbird had never been fired up, so I didin't need to rename/delete an existing directory. Now I have to find a way of getting my many Libreoffice templates into a low level subdirectory of .profile. Near impossible to make a workaround. I'm going to look around for a new file manager that works properly. Maybe Canonical should do likewise if you guys don't get this issue fixed!!!! Do the maintainers not posses a brain?
