Subject: Re: GConf/Thunderbird error on Solaris Nevada
"Hi Mats,I believe you download the contribute builds of Thunderbird 2, and
run
it on snv_70.
For some reason, the fix is upstreamed to Thunderbird 3 alpha, but not
community version of Thunderbird 2.
Fixed in snv_68 means the fix was integrated to Thunderbird bundled
with snv_68."
...it seems that the fix for this in thunderbird2 might require some manual
intervention as although the problem is well know, the fix was only
incorporated in the newer thunderbird3.
Have just checked the Karmic version at:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/thunderbird
which currently shows that version 2 of thunderbird is planned for Karmic
release.
As thunderbird3 is at Beta 3 right now I can perhaps see why debian and ubuntu
are sticking with Thunderbird2 just now.

However it does seem a shame to ship a new release with this known gconf
issue unpatched.
