[Bug 363983] Re: Thunderbird does not start when second display is missing

[Tim Haak]

Try the following
when on single desktop run

xrandr

It will return something like

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2880 x 900, maximum 2880 x 900
default connected 2880x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   2880x900       60.0*
   2560x800       60.0
   1440x900       60.0
   1280x800       60.0
   1280x768       60.0
   1024x768       75.0     70.0     60.0
   800x600        75.0     72.0     60.0     56.0
   640x480        75.0     72.0     60.0
   640x400        75.0     60.0
   512x384        75.0     60.0
   400x300        75.0     60.0
   320x240        75.0     60.0
   320x200        75.0     60.0

As I know for a single screen is should actually be set to

   1280x800       60.0 *

Not
 
 2880x900       60.0*

You then run

 sudo xrandr --output default --mode 1280x800

Which then allows thunderbird to start
(kill any background thunderbirds started with the wrong screen resolution first)
