I know about the workaround and I have been following something similar 
to work with Thunderbird. But when Thunderbird claims to be integrated 
with gnome, I don't see why anyone should need to do this. Think about 
an ordinary user wanting to use Ubuntu/Thunderbird. It will be very 
discouraging to have to get into symlinks etc.
