Hello, everybody :-)
This is a fresh installation and I am still setting it up.
All seemed to be well until I tried to launch Icedove. A small icon followed
the mouse, no other result.
I purged and reinstalled a couple of times, still no luck. So I purged,
removed some gunk (files an directories) that was still there and installed
the mozilla.debian version of Icedove.
Still the same. This time I thought to keep some of the error messages, where
there were any. They are below, in the order in which I did them: not very
logical I'm afraid.
Before I purge and install from source, possibly/probably with the same
result, can anyone see what the problem is, and how I should resolve it?
