[Bug 319365] [NEW] thunderbird crashes on startup

[kyangel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Sometimes I'm unable to start the client and  I get this error-message:
(output I get from terminal)

The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1279 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
