[Bug 152022] [gutsy] KDE Basket crashes on startup

[Luke Seubert]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: basket

I am currently running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon RC Candidate. Previously, I
ran both Ubuntu and Kubuntu Feisty Fawn, and the KDE Basket application
worked fine with both of them.

I installed basket 1.0.2-2build2 along with all required KDE
dependencies onto Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Release Candidate.

The application crashes upon start. The application appears for a few
brief moments, but disappears with a warning dialog stating, "Could not
launch Mail Client".

When I run basket from the command line, I get the following message
text in the terminal:

luke at t3985 ~> basket

basket: ERROR: Communication problem with basket, it probably crashed.


I made sure that the 'mozilla-thunderbird' program was installed and that Thunderbird was set as my preferred email client in System > Preferences > Preferred Applications.

I reinstalled basket 1.0.2-2build2.

None of these changes helped, and Basket still crashes upon startup,
after the program appears onscreen for a few seconds.

Thank you,
Luke Seubert
