Sunbird native port does nothing?

 I did the normal make install clean in the appropriate dir (everything
 went well).  Running it for the first time, I see the process in top,
 and it writes a bit to the console, but then exits.  All subsequent
 attempts to run it result in the following at the console:
 
 Starting calendar alarm service
 error creating table cal_calendars -- probably already exists
 error creating table cal_calendars_prefs -- probably already exists
 observer added
 observer removed
 
 and the process exits.


All the above still seems to be the case, and I did not see a reply to
the original post, hence this retry.

A process is started

 /usr/X11R6/libexec/gconfd-2 32

with no apparent effect which sits around until killed.

Anyone know how to make it do something useful?

We probably need to add a pkg-message to sunbird.
The version of sunbird in ports has some chrome
problems and you must run sunbird as root once before
it will run as normal user. Hopefully sunbird will have another
release soon with a fix.

IIRC, the trick was to run it once as root.

HTH.
