It turns out that Thunderbird for Linux is compiled against gtk2. My
machine has native gtk2, but evidently it wants a Linux gtk2; and there is
no linux-gtk port for 2, only for 1.2. How annoying! Looks like I'll have
to build it myself. Perhaps someone willl do a port or package for
Thunderbird 0.1, which is coming soon ...
