[Bug 411358] Re: Thunderbird2 gconf gmt problem 'Bad key or directory name' because of plus symbol (+)

[Jonathan Heard]

I'm yet to do a bit more research into this but I believe that
Thunderbird is basically correct in what it is doing (even though it
seems daft at face value)... I can also confirm that Thunderbird has
been doing this for a long time and what has changed is the presentation
of the gconf errors.

This issue is attributed to the Ubuntu Thunderbird package being
compiled with support for GIO. If you use the binary package from
mozilla then it does not should a pop up dialog.

Thunderbird chooses GIO in preference to GConf if it's available but
then GIO actually uses GConf itself to do the lookup. The error handling
is configured slightly differently and this results in the pop-ups.

I need to do some more tests when I have time and then I'll try to
propose a fix.
