Still happens in Kubuntu Precise. The workaround is to download Thunderbird from mozilla, extra a file called omni.ja and ovewrite the copy at /usr/lib/thunderbird/. Not sure if this has undesired effects (it may delete all your email), but it works for me.
** Summary changed: - Thunderbird Icon set is broken + Thunderbird Icon set is broken (ugly, black and white icons) ** Description changed: Since Oneiric the standard theme in thunderbird is broken. In Oneiric (and Precise) some of the coloured Icons were replaced by black&white pictograms, but not consistently all. For example the Lightning Icons still remain coloured, as they were before. I don't know why some Icons were replaced by pictograms (is this because of a new GTK-Theme?) , this is only in the Linux version of TB, the Windows version still has the coloured icons. It would have been better if the old standard theme remains untouched, and a new theme would have been created for the new black&white pictograms. See attached screenshot for the weird icons. + + Possible work-around: Download Thunderbird from mozilla, extract a file + called omni.ja and overwrite the copy at /usr/lib/thunderbird/.
