I'm seeing exactly this behaviour with both Lightning 0.3 and the nightlies, combined with Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 or the trunk nightlies.  Here's my post to mozilla.support.calendar:

I'm trying to connect to our 2005q1 Sun Java Calendar Server using the
WCAP builds of Lightning.  Sadly, I'm so far having no luck.  Using the
0.3 release of Lightning with WCAP, the following happens:

* Lightning/Thunderbird loads and presents a blank local calendar.
* I add a remote calendar using WCAP and enter the hostname of our
calendar server (I've tried using both http and https urls here)
* Lightning prompts me for a username and password, identifying the
server as "-//Sun/Calendar Server//EN, v6.2, WCAP v3.3.0" in the prompt
* I enter my username and password and click OK
* Lightning/thunderbird completely hangs - no GUI redraws etc.  It uses 100% of one of my CPUs and goes into a cycle where the memory usage continuously climbs from about 70 to 80MB before resetting back to about 70 again.  There is continual network activity between my machine and the calendar server, but it's https so I don't know what's going on.

At this point I have to kill thunderbird.  If I restart it and give it the username and password again, exactly the same happens.

The above is with Thunderbird v2 beta 1 (20061122).  I get exactly the same results with Thunderbird 1.5.0.8.  I also tried yesterday's Lightning nightly with the trunk Thunderbird nightly.  This gave very similar results, but the hang happened at the point of prompting me for my password, rather than after I'd entered it.  All of the above were running on Windows XP Pro SP2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

The following rough patch fixes this issue for me.  It uses search_calprops in place of get_calprops.  I also had to remove the default appending of calId in getCommandUrl as calid means something different in search_calprops (although it's a different case anyway, so this may be irrelevant).  Thanks to Norbert Puschel for the hard work behind this!

See bug 362088 (a duplicate of this bug) for Norbert Puschel's write-up of this problem.

I installed sunbird over Win XP (sunbird-0.3.es-ES.win32.installer.exe) without problems, but when I select New Calendar the program hangs and I cannot to recover the focus to Sunbird (neither click on in or via task manager or alt-tab) and don´t show the supposed wizard to create new one. A difference with the Linux bug is that Sunbird don´t eat the CPU, always in 0% of charge and Windows don´t report the application as not response, but nothing happens and I have to kill from task manager.

Are you using WCAP?  If not, this is a different issue to the one in this bug.  I didn't think Sunbird had WCAP support, which is why I ask.
