Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I just upgraded to OpenSuse 11.0. This problem also happened with KDE 4.0 but I thought I's see if going to 4.1.0 fixed the problem. It didn't. When running in the KDE 4.1.0 or 4.0 environments: After a few seconds of opening Thunderbird, all open Thunderbird (MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.12-34.1) windows no longer respond. A process list shows the CPU utilization of Thunderbird at 99%. Selecting the "close" icon after a bit gets the KDE warning box stating that the application is no longer responding and asking if I'd like to "Terminate" the application. I switched to Gnome to test and no longer get the lockups with Thunderbird. I don't know if this is a Thunderbird error or a KDE one, but the fact that the lockups only happen in KDE and not Gnome makes think the issue should be posted here.
I started Thunderbird from the command line. When it died it returned this: > thunderbird -jsconsole ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 /usr/bin/thunderbird: line 137: 3404 Terminated $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@
Here is a report plus two backtraces run with gdb. The first backtrace is when Thunderbird was hung and the second was after the program was terminated. gdb thunderbird-bin 5116 GNU gdb 6.8 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Just upgraded KDE to rpm version kdebase4-4.1.0-17.7 hoping it fixed the bug. Nope thuderbird still locks up. Running MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.12-34.1 Going back to Gnome :(
Saw there was a KDE update. Updated to kdebase4-4.1.0-23.2 w/ MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.12-34.1 Thunderbird still un-responsive after a few minutes.
I tried running Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 on a KDE 4.1.1 desktop (Kubuntu), but I couldn't reproduce the problem: I set up a Google Mail account (IMAP) and browsed through the emails, waited about 20 minutes and worked with Thunderbird again, but I didn't note any unresponsiveness or high CPU usage. Closing worked fine. I don't really have an idea what the reason might be that it goes wrong for you only in KDE, the only thing I can think of is the window manager. You might want to report this to Opensuse (just in case it's a distro-specific issue): http://en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug Thanks!
Any news on this? Have you experienced this bug again with recent KDE versions? Have you reported this bug in the OpenSUSE bugtracker? Thanks :)
I'm now using Thunderbird version 2.0.0.18 (20081112) with KDE 4.1.3 and not having the same issue. Shall I change the status to fixed?
Thanks for the feedback! I'll set the status to 'worksforme' then. 'Fixed' is to be used by developers when they find out where in the code the problem is and fix it.
