[Bug 487983] [NEW] Thunderbird spams console with errors instead of using ~/.xsession-errors

[Vik]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Running thunderbird& from a console and then trying to use that console
is hard because of all the error and warning messages that are emitted
to the console while the app is running. These errors are also not
logged to ~/.xsession-errors where one would expect to find them.
Example of typical error content on my PC (some messages probably belong
at least in part to lightning - should I report that separatey?):
