User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008122011 Firefox/3.0.4 (Debian-3.0.5-1) Ubiquity/0.1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081204 Thunderbird/3.0b1

I create a quick launch shortcut in my KDE (3.5.10) bar to this address:
'/home/USER/.thunderbird/thunderbird'

When I click over it, Thunderbird start but mouse icon is still with busy status.
This happening 30 seconds after Thunderbird is started.

When I run Thunderbird by command line, this problem don't happening.
If I use the same shortcut to Thunderbird 2.x, this problem don't happening.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shortcut icon to Thunderbird
2. Run it by this shortcut.
Actual Results:  
Mouse status is always showed as busy

Expected Results:  
Mouse status need be busy only when Thunderbird is starting.
After start, mouse icon need be "normal".

This problem don't happening in last stable release (2.x)

This is WFM.

Still see this with 
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/
http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/ ?

If so, tried starting with "thunderbird -safe-mode" ? Anything of interest in the Error Console?

With "safe-mode" this problem still happening.

I don't see any console error, and I think that I never see, because I'm running thunderbird from a KDE Icon (and not running Thunderbird from a command line).

I will try with nightly release.

My shortcut have this content (AppLink.desktop):

The Error Console is in the Tools menu.

[Renato S. Yamane]

No. No error.

I had a similar problem in OpenOffice.Org 2.3.1 in the past, but it is already fixed in 2.4:

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

This sounds like an issue with startup notification, especially given

> StartupNotify=true

Comment 6

[Renato S. Yamane]

With "StartupNotify=false", this problem not happening, BUT is impossible see when a software is started, because mouse icon don't change the status to "busy".

I will attach an image to you see the problem.

This problem still present in Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 2

Comment 7

[Renato S. Yamane]

Attachment: image to see what is happening

See KDE bar.
Mouse icon and task bar show that Thunberbird is starting, but it is already started.

Comment 8

[Renato S. Yamane]

Importance setted to "minor"?
Is not good to know that a proccess is already finished but the Mouse Icon still is in progress.

Comment 9

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

indeed minor. It doesn't mean it's not annoying. just that in the grand scheme of things, it meets the definition of what one sees in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance

Comment 10

[Renato S. Yamane]

On the real world "minor" means: This bug never will be fixed because we don't have time enough and others bugs have more importance" :-)

But OK, I will live with it :-)
