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?

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:
- 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?
- 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.
