  I have a dual screen configuration (see attached xorg.conf) configured
  with the "ATI Catalyst control center". It works fine.
  
  When I am at work I use both monitors, my built in laptop screen and an external 1024x768 Compaq LCD. When I
  start thunderbird it starts immediately and shows me my one and only configured newsgroup news.grc.com fine.
  
  When I am at home I only use the notebooks built in LCD 1680x1050. When
  I start thunderbird via the KDE start menu it shows shortly in the
  control bar but then is gone.
  
  Doing a "ps waux | grep thun" shows me, that it is running/hanging
  somewhere.
  
  The program is not on the second screen and invisible. The GUI is not
  here!
  
  Btw. I always use it on the primary screen (the builtin notebook screen)
  and never moved it to the other.
  
  I had this bug a long ago and went to kmail because of this. Now I thought Thunderbird would work for news
  and it did. As I found out now the problem (with mail and news) is the second screen missing.
  
  I hope you could solve this bug. It prevents me from using Thunderbird.
  
  Best regards
  
  Peter
