Yes i was trying to install it on my laptop too.

maybe 'apt-get install ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop' did nothing 
and maybe it was actually just apt upgrading everything that did 
it, either way it took a long time and it did the job.

as for your icon problem i solved this by using 'locate' to find 
the pixmaps use the command 'locate thunderbird.xpm' and then 
used the 'custom icons' bit on the icons properties

on my fresh install of thunderbird i had the follow pixmaps for 
thunderbird:

/usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
/usr/share/mozilla-thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/mozilla-thunderbird.xpm
