288815 - Does not run minimized with -turbo option when prompted for account or Master passwords

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Tony]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

When starting Thunderbird with the -turbo option, it will show the main window,
quickly minimize it, prompt for passwords, and then restore the main mail
window.  This only happens when passwords are needed, for accounts or the Master
password.  If account passwords are saved and a Master password is not used, the
program starts minimized and stays minimized.  This is kind of a pain when you
want your account passwords stored, but you want to use a Master password to
keep them encrypted.

Is it possible to prompt for passwords while keeping the application minimzed? 
I like having it run on startup and stay minimized so it will only prompt for
passwords when needed, like the GMail notifier.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check Use Master password in Advanced Preferences
2. Close Thunderbird
3. Start Thunderbird with the -turbo option.  It will prompt for password, then
restore the application.

Actual Results:  
The application does not remain minimized.

Expected Results:  
The main mail window should have remained minimized.
