thunderbird-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1 After updating to the above version the menu item doesn't work and the icon is missing. The .desktop file looks like: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Thunderbird Email GenericName=Email Comment=Send and Receive Email Exec=mozilla-thunderbird Icon=thunderbird-icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application StartupWMClass=Thunderbird-bin X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.9 Categories=Network;Application;X-Fedora; So there is no /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird any more but only /usr/bin/thunderbid. This will potentially break things. Also the icon name has changed from /usr/share/pixmaps/thunderbird-icon.png to /usr/share/pixmaps/thunderbird.png also probably not good. Also looks like the Categories should be X-Red-Hat instead of X-Fedora.
Not sure you need a confirmation but here is one anyway - I can confirm that the icon is missing and menu item is broken.
