Whenever I try to open Thunderbird for a second time during a session I get the message
Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.
But I can't close it because I can't find it anywhere.
If I use the cli I get
** (thunderbird-bin:5442): WARNING **: Can not stat /home/maurice/tmp/orbit-maurice
** ERROR **: I can't write to '/home/maurice/tmp/orbit-maurice', ORB init failed
aborting...
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 5442 Aborted "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
which is not surprising as there's nothing in /tmp.
I've reinstalled TB but to no avail.
As a 'workaround' I open it then minimjze rather than closing it. But sometimes I forget and then have top reboot.

This has been discussed on the forum quite a bit already.
Open the system activity window (press ctrl and esc keys) look for the running process for thunderbird. There might be one or more left running. Select it and right click and select "kill process" You can close the system activity window. Thunderbird should run properly now. Please note that you may have to repeat this every time that you run Thunderbird3.

All of that when you could of just told someone to open synaptic and load the gtk-oxygen-molecule theme? Sometime keeping the solution at its simplistic is the best. Thanks for posting your solution to the problem though.

Funny thing - I had downloaded gtk-oxygan-molecule for some other reason and I hadn't noticed that Thunderbird was working OK till just now.  But thanks AndrzejL you've got some hepful videos there. |

There may have been but not that I've noticed. Synaptic takes 16 secs. |
