Description

[Mark Xie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111217 Fedora/3.0.4-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.4
Build Identifier: Redhat RHEL5 Client - thunderbird-2.0.0.22-2.el5_3 - i386 (en_US) 

It will be more graceful if the user can open the Thunderbird main window when
only a compose window alive.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
    1.Open thunderbird,
    2,Press 'Ctrl + N' to bring up a new compose window
    3,Close the main window.

Actual Results:  
The compose window is keeping open status, and the main window have closed, if
the user want to back to the main window, it seems there is none way to reach
that wish.


Expected Results:  
If a new button "Back to Main Window" add to the compose window, it will make
Thunderbird more easier acceptable to junior users.
