[Bug 615779] Re: Thunderbird menus and dialog boxes are blank

[Tommy Trussell]

I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 today, and ran into this. The
dialogs in Thunderbird were unusable. Most Thunderbird windows copied
portions of the image from the desktop and windows underneath. Even when
fields were visible, it was impossible to get focus. The File menu
usually worked, but most other menus just popped up an empty rectangle.
So far, nothing else has been incompatible with compiz, but I haven't
done much else today but reinstall and test my old data.

I assumed it was due to upgrading from my old Thunderbird data to the
3.1.x but blowing away my old .mozilla-thunderbird and the new link to
.thunderbird didn't help.

As described in #15, setting Visual Effects from "Normal" to "None"
fixed it.
