When I start up my just-built Thunderbird I get this message:

What should I do?
Don't run as root?
Alternatively remove /root/.thunderbird/ or create a new user and
try running as that user.

I ran as user lfs, but got a message I've seen when testing several
programs:
#########
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Error: cannot open display: :0
#########
Then I removed /root/.thunderbird and ran Thunderbird as root. Same
error message as before, except that when the program started up,
it wanted me to configure it as a new user. So something changed.

Hi Alan,
Are you trying to run these programs in chroot? If you are, try
running them on your LFS system when booted.
Hi Doug,
I'm running in my systemd LFS system. In fact, I've built all the
dependencies for Firefox and Thunderbird in that system. I'm replying
to this email in the new Thunderbird.
Also, are you running X as root (e.g. startx while root?) - if so,
please run it as a normal user, as it's not recommended (primarily
for security reasons) that you start/run X as root.
Yes, that's what I've been doing, not having known any better.
Now I've started up as myself rather than root. Now I get a similar
but longer error message:

Now that I've configured Thunderbird for user alan, upon startup I get
only the first three lines from the above:

I just started the latest version on my development system and those
messages appear to be normal.
This is using startx in the Linux console as user alan. X starts with
the twm window manager, which so far as I can see, has very limited
usefulness compared to others.
The only problem left, aside from the error message, is that hitting
the ALT key fails to pop up the top toolbar that normally contains
"File Edit View . . ." This is a problem because I see no way to quit
Thunderbird aside from Control-C or killing the job in Linux.
However, in Firefox hitting the ALT key does bring up the normal top
toolbar.
These both seem to be weaknesses of TWM. I just started Thunderbird from
twm instead of GNOME (which is my normal DE), and found that I had no
title bar either (which makes sense, all GTK+ and Qt-based DEs have
support for the title bars!)
What you can do instead is click on a black area of the screen, click
Kill, and then click the Thunderbird window. I do recommend installing
another Window Manager or Desktop Environment at some point though :)
To get your menu bar back in Thunderbird, right click on an empty area
next to the Inbox label, and click "Menu Bar".
