something changed in lucid... not sure what. i compile thunderbird from
trunk every while, it was working fine on karmic, i fresh installed
lucid, and recompiled thunderbird for it, from same source version as
last time, and copied the thunderbird config directory to my home. so TB
*should* remember all my old settings, yet, upon clicking a link it
asked for how to use it. i pointed it to firefox, and it used it... like
a charm, never asked again. but i still find it weird that it asked.
