[Bug 978762] [NEW] Thunderbird starts in unusable state

[Jane Silber]

Public bug reported:

I'm on an up-to-date Precise beta. Approximately 30% of the time that I
start Thunderbird, it starts in the state shown in the attached
screenshot - no accounts shown, no mailboxes shown, etc. Closing the
application and restarting it will fix the problem (in my experience
this has never happened twice in a row - the restart has always come up
as expected). Closing the application is also the only way I have been
able to work around it - clicking on any of the actions shown in the
screenshot has no effect. I have not been able to determine any common
pattern of when this happens and when it doesn't, and cannot reproduce
it reliably. Happy to help debug if you wish though.

Reporting a new bug, as requested by Chris Coulson. Marking the original
(973256) as a dupe of this one.
