Title:
  Thunderbird does not start when second display is missing

  I have a dual screen configuration (see attached xorg.conf) configured
  with the "ATI Catalyst control center". It works fine.

  When I am at work I use both monitors, my built in laptop screen and an external 1024x768 Compaq LCD. When I
  start thunderbird it starts immediately and shows me my one and only configured newsgroup news.grc.com fine.

  When I am at home I only use the notebooks built in LCD 1680x1050.
  When I start thunderbird via the KDE start menu it shows shortly in
  the control bar but then is gone.

  Maybe similar to bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/328608

  Doing a "ps waux | grep thun" shows me, that it is running/hanging
  somewhere.

  The program is not on the second screen and invisible. The GUI is not
  here!

  Btw. I always use it on the primary screen (the builtin notebook
  screen) and never moved it to the other.

  I had this bug a long ago and went to kmail because of this. Now I thought Thunderbird would work for news
  and it did. As I found out now the problem (with mail and news) is the second screen missing.

  I hope you could solve this bug. It prevents me from using
  Thunderbird.

  Best regards

  Peter
