Yes, I do understand your dilemma. You could try seeing if you can hack the glue code so as to use just what's needed from Thunderbird's own XUL / C++ / JavaScript / CSS to support the Lightning XPI on top of Gecko (the Mozilla runtime). However, I suspect that'd be way too much work, since Mozilla Foundation (/Oracle Corp./whoever) appear to be targeting Outlook/Exchange schedule event handling, and thus see scheduling as incidental to e-mail. There was a time when I kept track of scheduling apps in Linux development space (both client and server end), with a particular interest in iCalendar support. You can find that in my Web site's knowledgebase in the obvious place (http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps, I think). However, I kept seeing projects wander off into some painfully overengineered groupweare direction, rather than doing a nice, clean, simple implementation, and became a bit disheartened, so my page on the subject is a little out of date.
