I hav a question on this case. Why does this "Already running" dialog even exist?
In my opinion Thunderbird should all time automatic open the existing application. I do not know any other application with this nonsense Dialogs. What user would be interested in such a detail if the app already run or not. In all cases a normal user inter act with thunderbird I personally know no situation where this error shows a good information. * If the Thunderbird app already run do something in thunderbird. * If thunderbird do not run start it and than do something in tunderbird. * If there is a case that Thunderbird do not react on a call say something like: "Thunderbird do not answer. Should I kill it and start a new one. If you wish check yourself leaf this dialog open. It will disappear the moment thunderbird do answer." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711305 Title: Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding.
