New message windows do not get 'focussed' when they are opened. Their title bar is grey, and the main Thunderbird window retains the focus. This means that when I press alt-F4 or ctrl-W, my main Thunderbird window is closed, instead of my message window. Very annoying, because it means that I lose my place in the message list, etc etc, and I can only get the main window back again my typing ctrl-1. This happens only in one particlar case, which is when I *already* have a message window open, and the message window is being re-used for the new message. It doesn't happen if I have no message window already on. Serious and easily-fixed usability bug IMHO, probably something in the way that Thunderbird is interacting with the window manager, I would guess.
