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.
Ok. Presumably they won't appear in a new DE like Gnome.
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 get no response when I click on a blank area. Probably a twm thing, no?
I do recommend installing another Window Manager or Desktop
Environment at some point though :)
That's the plan. :)
To get your menu bar back in Thunderbird, right click on an empty area
next to the Inbox label, and click "Menu Bar".

That works! Thank you!
