[newbie] Fixing Thunderbird in LE2005

[Mr. Geek]

Just in case people on the list are running into trouble getting 
Thunderbird to work in LE2005, I've probably found out why.

For some reason, either as a result of the hdlist files or the 
dependancy lists in the spec files associated with Thunderbird,
the dependancy files are not being requested or installed when you 
select Thunderbird for installation.

Since those packages don't get installed, and since no errors show up, a 
lot of people won't be aware of the problem.

The packages that are required include; libcairo1libcairo1-0.4.0-1mdk,
                                        libpixman1-0.1.4-2mdk
                                        libglitz1-0.4.0-2mdk
Once those are installed, Thunderbird should work. If it fails to 
launch, remove Thunderbird and re-install. It should work fine after that.

Note: the versions of those dependancy packages might be different if 
you're not running Cooker (like I am), but the correct ones are included 
 on the CD's and DVD, as well as the mirrors.
