I just found a (temporary) solution to this problem: on my laptop Ubuntu
8.04, when I launch Thunderbird from the console when the window is
docked to the top of the screen or to one side of the screen, the
program starts normally, while when I launch Thunderbird from a console
that is "floating" (e.g. no docked) I get that Bad Window error.

It also succeded when I launched Thunderbird from the Applications menu,
while the console window was docked, while is the console was "floating"
Thunderbird didn't start.

It seems to me that everything is related to the presence (or the
absence) of a single "floating" window, if there are only docked windows
(consoles, or firefox), then Thunderbird starts normally.
