[Bug 872147] [NEW] thunderbird launcher icon message notification does not change when messages are read

[Rocko]

Public bug reported:

The number of messages waiting is displayed in the thunderbird icon in
my unity launcher, which is great. Normally, as I read the messages,
this number decrements and then it disappears once they have all been
read.

However, if there are messages waiting when I first launch thunderbird,
the number displayed in the icon remains fixed as I read them, until new
messages arrive.

Is this perhaps a dbus or unity issue instead? The same thing seems to
be true for the number of events awaiting attention in skype - if there
are events when I launch it, viewing the events doesn't reset the
counter.
