I looked, it's probably quite an interesting bug
that but probably not
related to the Trinity:
Yes, I didn't even know which out of Debian, Mozilla and TDE was responsible
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637924
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626812
I tried two solutions:
1. Run icedove with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom_core.so:/usr/lib/icedove/libxpcom.so
icedove
Did this work? Sadly I don't think it would be viable for the owner of the
box in question. Or did you mean that I should put it in a script somewhere?
2. Add to apt sources
deb http://mozilla.debian.net squeeze-backports icedove-esr
and install the 10.0.3, the problem has not already.
That is one of the things I did, installation and error messages above. It
didn't help at all.
I'll raise this with the Debian Users list, in case they can help. But I have
Icedove running fine on a Squeeze box with LXDE, so if it is a Debian bug it
is recently introduced.
I think that this is a deal breaker, but it is hard to know what to recommend
for the owner.....
I think I'll try purging and installing from source before I give up. Thank
you very much for being so helpful and replying.
