I downloaded thunderbird-0.7-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz. Opened it with tar
-xvzf, which seemed to work fine, and intalled it in /opt (where I have had
thunderbird since v 0.3 o so) but the new version does nor run. Version 0.5
works fine. I tried my desktop icon or running /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird with
the same result. I am using a Dell Perfection 650 with a Xeon 2,6 GHz processor,
256Mb RAM unser Fedora Core r1. The execution permissions on thunderbird are OK.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clicking the icon on my desktop which points to /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
2.Running /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
3.Changing to /opt/thunderbird and doins sh thunderbird.

Actual Results:  
Nothing. When using /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird from a teminal window the
normal shell prompt a apeared after a very short time but thunderbird din not run.

Expected Results:  
Run thunderbird

thunderbird-0.7-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz does not work in my machine
