Description reza 2005-08-16 17:54:00 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
This is a new install of fc4 on a mac mini.  Thunderbird does not startup properly, or display any startup dialog.  If I tried to run it from the command prompt, it would sit there spinning for about 10 seconds then quit, without reporting any errors, and opening no windows.  The strace revealed nothing interesting.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
thunderbird-1.0.6-1.1.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open shell
2.type thunderbird
3.
  

Actual Results:  the shell prompt would come back

Expected Results:  thunderbird should have opened.

Bug 163195 is (now) the gcc bug. Marking duplicate of bug 168179 instead.
